Rain and Blessing

I had a bit of a rough start this morning, but praise the Lord He got me through, and this afternoon I was able to get quite a bit done in a too-long neglected science textbook that I really enjoy! This evening, I suddenly remembered the photo challenge, and so I went out to snap a couple pictures. It was still raining, and I enjoyed the challenge of trying to catch pictures of the raindrops.

The pear tree is loaded this year. I don’t remember eating these pears last year, so hopefully they’ll be good!

The lilies are beautiful this year. I keep trying to get pictures of them, but it’s proving to be difficult. This one ended up okay, though. We have yellow ones as well, and perhaps some white ones—but I prefer these pinky red ones!

I’m sure I should be able to remember the name for these flowers, but I can’t. In the rain, they’re even more beautiful with their pale lavender color!

I’ll close with a favorite passage of mine, from Psalm 145:

“The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.” — Psalm 145:14–16 (emphasis mine; the rest of the chapter is beautiful, too—the Lord is so good to us!)

How has your day treated you? Got a lot done?
