Walk in the Rain

It's been raining non stop today. While splashing through the puddles on the drive home from church today I decided I had to get out in the rain.  It's like a refreshing, cleansing spring rain that just beckoned me outside. I asked the kids if they wanted to come along for a walk with me and they were both excited about walking down to the creek. So we got our rain gear on and headed out. 

We walked along the swift flowing stream of water, which is normally just a small trickle of water, but today is swollen, overflowing and gushing into the drainage pond.  I couldn't help but reflect on the message my Pastor taught about today on Psalms 46: 3-5 "There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved : God shall help her, and that right early."

As we made our way down the path we came across some gooey worms. Ew!...

Splash!

 

Walking to the creek...

The creek is full and flowing under the train bridge...

Jared, taking in the sounds of the bubbling water rushing by...

I had to take a moment to stop, put my head back and let the rain fall on my face. Ahhhh! So refreshing! Maybe I'm weird, but every once in a while I just love the rain like this.
