If your feet are wet this morning, be grateful for cold toes and soggy socks.

Did you step in a puddle this morning and get your shoes and socks wet? Well, isn't that wonderful? Remember last summer? Docks dried up with boats sitting on top of dirt that hasn't been dry in years. Fields of burned corn tassels leaving farmers without grain or money. Yards turned brown and mowers left with full tanks of gas from no use. As I watched our two teenagers dash for the car this morning, I said a thank you to God. As I remembered the warm sunshine of Destin from last week and looked at our tanned skin....I said thank you God it is raining in Tennessee today. In all honesty, I haven't prayed for rain lately. In fact, it hasn't even been on my mind. Now, last summer I can promise you I prayed daily, hourly. Why? Because it was an instant, desperate need for our land and people. Isn't that how we are? Sorry. Isn't that how I am? I will pray for the immediate relief stuff and when it doesn't happen I move on to something else, but thank goodness God holds the future and doesn't forget. The ground soaking, sky dancing lighting, storms of hail, tree uprooting miracles, are proof that today I need not fret or worry. The God of the universe that can scorch the earth and flood it as well and no matter what I may face today, when I see a puddle of water, I need to just relax. If my hair gets wet...I will feel refreshed. If my shoes are soaked...then my steps are blessed. If my teenagers are sitting in class with wet feet..then I know my God is with them. Are you looking for proof today? Are you looking for truth today? Are you looking for hope today? Then go stand in a puddle and get your feet wet.
