It's finally raining!!!

Last week a group of local pastors organized a community prayer meeting to pray for the needs of our community.  Upon hearing about the prayer meeting the local water officials contacted one of the pastors and asked that we please pray for rain.  That we did and God has answered!  God is good at that.  We are actually expecting snow starting tomorrow.  We have had a terrible dry spell in California and we are hoping and praying that the rainy season is here to stay for a healthy amount of time.

Our previous two winters were insane.  We had more snow than we had ever seen here.  Over the two seasons, seven of our trees lost their tops and landed on our roof.  I really got tired of tress crashing onto our roof.  Our home owner's insurance disowned us due to our "extraordinary number of claims."  What's a family to do when it rains trees?

At any rate, we are grateful for the rain, the freshness and cleanness that it brings, and the promise of full reservoirs this summer.  Full reservoirs means water for the farmers in the valley, and places to play in the summer.

Speaking of playing, tomorrow I get to hang out with my grandson.  I love that little guy!  He saw me at prayer meeting tonight and says to his daddy, "Want Mima!"  His daddy set him down and he came a running!  Want to know what he asked for?  My cell phone.  My cell phone has video of him eating, playing and even of him throwing a fit.  Wanna know what he wanted to watch?  He wanted to what the video of his fit!  He cracks up watching himself kick his feet and then sit up and frown in the camera.  That has nothing to do with rain.  Just a grin for the weekend.

Stay warm, dry, healthy and safe.
Love,
