Showers of blessings

Thinking about it, I did lie once, when I was about 15. I wonder if this means I should expect more, or less rain?* Maybe I have lied more than that once, but maybe not – honesty is incredibly important to me – Ben says it’s cos I’m an Ox and we value it. Anyhow, it seems to be raining on me at the moment and I wonder if actually things aren’t going wrong any more than they usually do, we just notice it more when we’re in a difficult place? So I need to keep on focussing on all the appliances in my house that are working rather than the ones that aren’t. All the relationships that are going smoothly rather than the ones that aren’t. All the steps forward I’m taking rather than the setbacks.

And of course, to enjoy the rain, to dance in it and to sing Tyndale’s “It’s raining, it’s pouring, Showers of blessings are now falling…”

*This is a reference to a Travis song, “Why does it always rain on me, is it because I lied when I was 17?”
