You can read about this flood on the layout. April walked down to the Kanawha River three days after it first flooded. As the water rushed by, she spotted a beautiful butterfly visiting the nearby flowers. It was its flight that caught her fancy and caused her to dance along the water's edge.
Thank you April for calling our attention to the beauty in an otherwise bad situation.
This happened near the end of June. Now nearly two months later, there has been a terrible flood in Louisiana. Because of the same weather pattern, a lot of rain has made it's way north to us. We really needed it, so many of us on higher ground have been hoping to see a lot. However, as other rains this summer, they have mostly passed both north and south of us. We have had more than usual, but not the amount we need to make up for the drought we've been suffering this year.
Thank you Father God for all you've given us, including sunshine, rain and especially rainbows. They remind us of that promise you made long ago. You will never again destroy the earth by water.
Father, we know you have not 'promised us a rose garden'. We will all have trials, which you have planned for our lives. We pray those tests will train us to trust in you, so that we seek your will daily.
