RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN 

after awhile it doesn't even make sense anymore. Long Island, NY has been under water for weeks and weeks. I can't get my mind off it. ...........................................

RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN 

The group Mercy Me sings a song with this chorus:

I KNOW THEY'LL BE DAYS
WHEN THIS LIFE BRINGS ME PAIN BUT
IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO PRAISE YOU,
JESUS BRING THE RAIN.

I wonder about the people who are having a season in their lives where they feel like us Long Islanders do - - - "not ANOTHER day of rain!!!" 

 How daunting. 

 How depressing. 

 How exhausting. 

 And I just want to SHOUT to them, "lean on Jesus!" 

 Because just like God rained manna down on the Israelites in the dessert to sustain them day after day after day, He will pour out His mercy every single morning to give you enough to sustain you day after day after yet another rainy day.
