It’s beginning to look a lot like June!
Today is July 1st, happy July everyone. Typically known for the dog days of summer with its characteristic triple “H” days (Hazy, Hot, Humid), this July is beginning much like the month of June. In a recent post on all the rain we are having I checked the rain for the month of June and said that if the forecast held for the month there would be 19 of 30 days with some rain, not to mention the days that were just plain cloudy. Well, the forecast held true and 19 of June’s 30 days were wet. As I look out the window this morning and see the rain coming down hard, I wonder will July be any different?
Anyway, no matter what the weather I can be content because as Psalms 118:24 says, “This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” So I rejoice in the rain as it continues to fall in July. Thank God that I have plenty of reading material

And you know, maybe Andrew had it right when he asked his Mom a week or so ago if he could go out and play in the rain! So it rains. Yes, it would be nice for our garden if the sun shone on it now and then, yes it would be nice if we didn’t have to treat our lawn for fungus, yes it would be nice if we could get that fence painted….but I remember another time a few years back in my life when it rained like this. I’d been laid off my job and was out of work, thankfully for just 3 weeks. We had one fish pond at the time and we’d unexpectedly had 2 sets of babies born. So we didn’t have room for them. I decided to dig a hole and make a pond. And then the rain started. So for 2 weeks, I was out there digging a hole, putting in sand, leveling…a very very muddy task! But as you quote, they were all days the Lord has made and I was rejoicing in it! Just a little dirty!
