RIGHT AS RAIN

I almost made it. I was halfway through my daily march when the rain started falling. It came down quickly - drenching me.

It was a good feeling though. I was beginning to feel winded when the cool water blew across my skin. I was refreshed and invigorated.

I have to admit, it's a God thing how this works out some days.

Today my assigned bible reading was again a short story from Acts where Philip met an Ethiopian eunuch on the road to Jerusalem and baptized him.

As I relished the cooling rainfall I thought about that story, and of the other times in my life when renewing waters have come at exactly the right moment.
