I can’t believe I’m thinking about this again. It’s that ‘praying for the weather’ consideration! This time, I’m less serious about it, but since we’re having 40 people for lunch, parade watching and a cookout on July 4th, of course a little soft prayer to God found its way in. But no! Out you go! A friend reminded me that her garden needs rain; people in the south are worrying about a pending hurricane. Our party maybe important to us, which as it should be, but it definitely doesn’t need my prayer time.
My prayer will be better spent helping me stay calm and positive regardless of rain, snow, sleet, hail, and grateful for any lack of precipitation. And what about the other gratitudes that have nothing to do with weather—that we have a place for a party and family and friends to invite; that we live in a town with an outstanding parade; and that we are healthy enough to pull it off. “Very grateful.”
