Devotional – May 1, 2025

We in Oklahoma City, along with much of our state and surrounding regions, have received a great deal of rain in the last few days.  And there is more in our forecasts.  

So we pray for all who have been in areas of flooding.  We give thanks for all who help to keep infrastructures going, thanks for all who respond with help.  

In our yard, the birds are absolutely relishing the rain.  Those things we have planted are getting more than enough water in these moments.  

Today, I ask you to be grateful for times when the rain comes to visit us, even if it comes with thunder and lightning, or even more water than we wish. If you know of folks who are struggling as a result of the rain, help them as you can.  If you see workers who are getting things back to normal, say a prayer for them.  If you see unsheltered folks at the intersections, consider buying a few sandwiches and giving them away.  

And be grateful.  As much as you can possibly be!

Peace Be With You. – Paul
