 Yesterday, Jim and I read from the prophet Ezekiel. I loved the promise of showers of blessing.

I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing;
and I will cause showers to come down in their
there shall be showers of blessing. Ezekiel 34:26

Wow! Do we realize that promise came from the God of the Universe? For us? There are many other promises in that chapter we could focus on, yet let’s focus on this promise: showers of blessing.

True Showers.

In my book, I’ve written a lot about my past. About growing up in the countryside in Oregon and Washington. I remember singing in that little church on Sunday nights the song that must have been inspired from the verse above:

                        There shall be showers of blessing: 
                           This is the promise of love; 
                           There shall be seasons refreshing, 
                            Sent from the Savior above…..

I can still hear the voices, lustily singing together on Sunday nights.If I can list one blessing, it would be the wonderful memories I have growing up in the countryside where berries and nurseries abounded. Where I could run like the wind and ride my bike freely with few cars to watch for. Where I knew I was loved by my parents, who so diligently told me about the Savior mentioned in the song.
