Rainy Birthday

I love rain. In Kenya rain was a thing of beauty and hope. It brought with it life. It filled our water tanks. It watered crops. When I was in high school, sometimes we would just go outside and sit on the sidewalk as the rain fell. It was comforting to feel the warmth of the concrete sidewalk under us as we felt the freshness of rain falling on our faces. Today it's my birthday and God sent me rain as a gift. Thank you. It's lovely.
