JUST A THOUGHT


The rain that falls on top of the mountain 
does not stay there to nourish the ground.  
From there it flows down into the valley.  
That's where the growth and the fruit is found.  


So it is with God's showers of blessings! 
If you set yourself high, 
up on a mountain, 
much higher than others you know,
you will get wet, you will get rained on 
but you won't grow.

Talk about showers!!!! Tennessee is getting more than its share today... Please pray for those people who are experiencing flooding..

We are on our way to the beach --so we just hope we'll have a home to go back to next Saturday.

BUT--it does take rain to help make the flowers grow... SO--I do know that we need it (just maybe not so much at one time)..

Beautiful picture...Is that gorgeous mountain near you????? WOW!!!!

Hugs,
Betsy
