Life in Christian County, Kentucky... Christian and Lutheran Life...
It's another gray, wet day here. It rained hard early this morning and more rain is forecast for the day. The little streambed that was just a wrinkle on the meadow a few days ago is now full and overflowing.
A few days ago
This morningThe title I gave this post, "Sunshine and Rain," reminded me of the plaque that hung on the wall of our home when I was growing up:
What God Hath Promised
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.
But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labourer,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.
"There hath not failed one word of all His good promise."
I Kings 8:56
How can I quote this so perfectly? Two reasons. First, the little poem is quoted from the hymn, "What God Hath Promised," and second, the plaque is hanging in my kitchen!
Hey, y'all. Have a great day!

When I read these words I thought of another quotation:
"I prayed and wisdom was given me. I valued her more than jewels."
