Rain

It rained today! I awoke this morning to the gentle pitter-patter on our roof. There are so many different parallels in nature to spiritual things. 

Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" 

I love how John Updike saw God's grace in the rain. Just as rain condescends from the sky, so Christ condescended from heaven to come to earth and shed his blood to give us life.
