Drought

Yes, drought!  And we all know what that means:  very little to no rain, brown grass and fields, sometimes parched earth and concerns that crops will make it.  It's a good analogy when a person, me, tries to write a post for a blog and nothing comes. Writer's block some may say, although I don't look at myself as a "writer".

Yes, lot's has led up to this dry state of affairs but it's painful, as well as disconcerting. Just like a drought when we worry about our crops, gardens and worse. I look at the weather right now and weather reports show storms, rain and more rain for the next days.  Lot's of rain has already fallen, doing havoc.

Have there been times in your life that seemed like a drought, wondering if the "dry" times would ever end?  I think we all have.  There are times when not only sickness and death can leave us feeling "dry" but other situations of everyday life like a stove or hot water heater going kaput, and even pipes busting! 

I think times like these need our patience and yet we need to keep putting one foot in front of the other trusting the future to bring "rains" that nourish one's spirit.  Personal experience has told me that prayer, seeing God's goodness and having good friends and companions also help.
