You can actually see the story by going to Matters of Faith on our website.  He pointed out that the rain can be one way God causes us to pause.  He said God can use the rain to get our attention. 

    Let's face it rain can be inconvenient for most of us.  But for the homeless the rain just presents one more hurdle to jump. It makes street life much harder... having to get place to place walking in the rain.  But on the way to a local church to find lunch,  Donnie remarked to his friend that it had been raining every day.  His friend pointed out what a blessing the rain was, because it makes you stop.  It may be God's way of getting you to reflect on him.

    So now when I see the rain coming, it reminds me of what a blessing it really is to be able to pause.   Sometimes storms of life also cause us to take a break in the action and appreciate what we have and count our blessings.

   What was so amazing about this homeless man was that he was so grateful for everything he had.  He said the rain reminded him of how much God provided for him.  He has clothes and thanks to area churches he is blessed with food.

  How great it is to appreciate what we have, not focus on what we don't have.

God Bless,
