Counting my Blessings.

I like watching out my bedroom window as the tiny grains of hail fall next to big plops of water. I like watching the sky quickly darken like a flock of birds flying overhead. I like the steel gray of the sky as it drops it's load of ice and water on our home. I love to hear the rush of hail as it leaps from our roof, like it loves to dive and can't wait to reach the ground. I love the sound of the wind as it rushes through the trees. The random car as and it goes by, but I can't see. The large fir forest out my window. I cannot even tell I am in the city, yet we are very close to downtown. I love the drops of rain as they hit the damper on the fireplace, reminding me of laying in a barn during a rain storm. I do miss the horses, goats, kittens, chickens, dogs and rabbits though. Sitting here makes me feel like I am back on a farm. One without the "fear of mother." It is awesome, just to sit here and know that the beauty I see was made of God. The hands that built this house had God's given gift to do so. I love moments like this. I think I am going to go make me some tea before going to my next page on my bible study. I love how God blesses me every moment of every day.
