At work they have been stressing appreciation, how a little recognition and thanks can go a long way. They encourage us to send thank you cards to fellow associates that have helped us with a project, or even with just a tiny piece.
The past two days have found me profoundly thankful to God for some of the simple things. A few of these things I could explain and have them understood, while others I can't even explain to myself all that well without rambling.
But it has rained the past two days. Good rain. And I've needed it, and didn't realize how much I needed the soothing storms until the moisture broke free from the clouds and came to quiet my heart. And it isn't a "shhhhhhh be quiet", rather it is a quiet presence that fills my heart and mind as moisture gently brushes me, reminding me of depth beyond words, submerged beneath surfaces.
So, though it feels incredibly inadequate to use words to express my appreciation for something that has given so much more than words can convey, I wish to express my thanks.
Thank you God for knowing me enough to know I would need this before I did...knowing enough to care...and for loving me especially in the little things that make me smile...a rainstorm, good license plates, a successful surgery, massive injury averted/avoided, arriving home safely, the voice of a loved one, laughter, cards, today, your voice, this moment....and I could go on like an Oregon rain, but thank you.
Love

It rained here today, and the joy was immense. I get it, and I am sure you aren't surprised. Thank the Gulf Coast for sending some of the storms our direction.
