Drops of Rain

Falling beads of awaited relief
Like a blessing being showered down
Slowly fades the wail of grief
From a stressed and anxious town
Sweet release from the bondage of routine life
The trivialities of worries and pain
With a surge of energy to aid the strife
Poured forth the first drops of rain

Such simplicity calms the weary heart
And soothes the restless soul
Shelters the truth that stands apart
From the person as a whole
What lies behind the hurt and lies
Are falling beads of painful cries

Charlene,
Hello, Thanks for visiting my blog.
I am so glad that you were blessed with my blog. I also read your blog, you write beautiful. I can only imagine what you will write when you start reading scriptures in the bible and you recieve the revelation word. It will be sooo awesome.
Try this: Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
Or one more: Psalm 7:1 O Lord my God, I take refuge in you: save and deliver me from all who pursue me, or they will tear me like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to resue me.

I know if you meditate on one of these for a day or 2 you could write something wow that would probably knock my socks off. :)
This is how awesome I think your writings are.
You are special to our Lord he sees your heart. I am so blessed to have him in my life and in my heart.
I hope we can stay in touch, looking forward to more of your writings. I know if you will take time out of your day to read alittle of the word you will enjoy it and see what he will have you writing from there.
Blessings to you my sister in Christ

I am adding this scripture as well
If you are not saved and would like to be just read this scripture and ask the Lord to come into your heart, Remember this

GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!

- that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 - For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:9-10 ( NKJV )

Have a Blessed Day!
