Watching Raindrops Dance

Our Creator, to use one of my favorite 

expressions, is profoundly simple. I'm 

seeing ever more clearly the things that really 

matter the most in life. We can be in 

such a rush that we miss the restorative 

blessings of all that our very good Father has 

given us so richly to enjoy. Time alone with 

him, fellowship with other believers, enjoying 

discussing Scripture with liked minded people, 

rejoicing over his numerous blessings in our 

lives and spending time in  his creation 

together, refreshing ourselves as we give 

thanks for its beauty are but a few of 

God's (Elohim in the Hebrew) choicest gifts to 

us.

Recently, Chuck and I took a walk in a  local park with a zoo after service on Sabbath. We ran into some old friends whom we had not seen in a while. We enjoyed the zoo's cougars, tigers, bears and buffalo together. What an awesome Creator. One of the friends we toured the zoo with is a very enthusiastic Puerto Rican. I tease him, "You never get excited about anything."  He's a joy to be around. His wife is quiet, but really sweet and is also a joy to be with. There honey daughter was with them. What an enjoyable walk. We exclaimed over the size of the tiger's feet. While the male tiger is very bright colored, the female is very light colored. Again, what an awesome Creator.

The next time it rains, I encourage you  to take time to watch the raindrops dance and give thanks to our wonderful Creator for all his marvelous gifts. You are all in my love and prayers. In our most precious Messiah, Jan Hagg  

WATCHING RAINDROPS DANCE

Rejoicing in your creation,

Its loveliness,

Watching raindrops dance,

Joyously hit the pavement,

 Rejoice in life,

 In your goodness,

They give the earth a bath,

Remove the air’s dust,

Leave it so fresh smelling,

 Each raindrop is transparent,

Like fine crystal,

The leaves so still,

Then gently swaying,

Praising you,

The quietness so refreshing,

I don’t want to leave.
