Grace like rain
This song is one of my favorites. I've loved it in rainstorms, blizzards and on tranquil sunny days. It has spoken to me in grief, fear and in joy and celebration. God's love graces us in all our ways, washing over us on all our paths - stormy or placid, through upheavals and in the sweet comfort of familiarity.
Today, as the southeast holds its breath, hoping the 25 million souls in the path of Hurricane Florence will be safe, with no loss of life - human or animal, my heart returns to this beautiful song which reminds us that God's grace is like rain.
I pray that everyone in the path of the storm or even indirectly affected by it, feels God's grace in every drop of rain that falls and God's Holy Spirit in every winded breath of that great and fierce category 4 hurricane.
Today, be safe. Remember you are not alone. All of heaven is holding your hand, guiding you to safety. May love guide and protect you throughout this terrifying event.
