Spring Rains and Sunshine

Journal Entry-March 29, 2009

Leviticus 26:4 "I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit."

The four days of spring rain we've had have been such a blessing this week. But I'm sure there are not many people (especially teachers!) who don't yearn to see the sun after those rains! Even God's creatures seek out the sun. Today our dog, Brissy, sought out the sunny corner of her kennel to bask in the sun. In my classroom, we have 10 Painted Lady Butterflies that we have watched change from tiny caterpillars to beautiful butterflies. On Friday, we moved their tent toward the turtle's basking light. Six out of ten immediately flew to the light source and began slowly opening and closing their wings. Those who have trusted Jesus as their Savior will one day be in a place where the sun is no longer needed!
"And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb." Revelation 21:23
Rain or shine, there is always "sunshine" in my heart from the cards, emails, phone calls, and greetings from so many of you! Thank you for your prayers and words to me that are "fitly spoken".
"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver." Proverbs 25:17
