Be Thankful for the rain.
I have to admit to feeling a little jealous this week. Louise and Lee, my daughter and son-in-law were speaking to Lee's mum who lives in Snodland in Kent. Yes, it is the name of a town, hard to believe but it is. It was glorious sunshine whilst it was raining cats and dogs here. This week has certainly been very wet. Archie and I have had some very wet walks including one to the supermarket. Archie doesn't mind being wet and loves to splash and Jump in the puddles as I have said more than once on this blog. You can imagine his delight when we got out of the car and there was the most enormous puddle covering a car park next to the supermarket. He had a wonderful time running through the puddle and yet again he went home a very soggy little chap.
Later that day as I was joining in with evening prayer from the Cathedral, a prayer request appeared on the screen. It was to pray for rain in Lahore, which is Manchester's link diocese in Pakistan. The temperature was 43 degrees centigrade with not a drop of rain in sight. It sort of put things into perspective and that night I did remember to thank God for the rain.
