Rain Delay

Spring is always such a busy time.  We leave at the crack of dawn and often don’t get home until dinner time or later.  Every Sunday evening I check the calendar to see what the week holds, and every Sunday evening I find the entire week is packed with an activity every single night.  Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining.  I am just saying life in the Bray house is very busy.  Social media tells me many, many people keep a schedule that is just as hectic, or maybe even more hectic, than ours. 

Psalm 55:6 says:

 I said, “Oh that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.”

How glorious does that sound? Can you imagine?  All you have to do is fly away.  I am about ready to take flight just thinking about it.  Then I remember all of my responsibilities, and I realize I really don’t have time to fly away and rest. But God knows all of our needs.  He knew tonight would be a great night to rest, and so He sent rain, which cancelled all practices and all evening activities.  Instead of running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I am relaxing in my favorite chair feeling ever so thankful for a break.  I know the craziness will start again tomorrow, but tonight I am thankful for the rain delay.
