Yesterday was a good day. Rain has been hard to come by around here and I watched from the distance as a huge thunderous cloud filled with lightning and rain washed over some eastern area of town. No rain fell from the clear skies above me, but I bet I had as good a view of the storm as anyone. It made me happy to know that somebody was probably dancing in puddles (lightning and all) and praising God for the rain that fell. Being happy for someone else's blessing is kind of like what families do. When something good happens for our kids or our spouse it seems we're almost as happy as they are...and so it should be. This has been my prayer for the Clearwater family. It's so evident, this love we have for one another. We walk through life sharing the ups and downs...the ins and outs...through good days and learning days. I thank God for those who have been by our side in the best and worst of times.
