Drip drip drop, little October Showers...

I love the sound of the rain as it prances off the rooftop and splashes onto the brick pathway outside my dining room window. It reminds me of my thoughts this morning as I took my daily shower. Every morning I shower and wash off all the dirt & remnants of the day before. It wakes me up, revives my senses & gives me a fresh start for a brand new day with no (so far) mistakes in it. Most mornings, (not every morning, I'm ashamed to admit), I also shower myself with the Word. Those are the days I pray and ask to be washed clean, to have created in me a clean heart, a renewed fellowship with my best friend & Saviour. Just as on the days when I water shower, I smell good, feel good and look better, on the days I spiritually shower, I act cleaner, send a sweet savor to heaven, speak better & make wiser decisions. The rain outside my window is gently washing away the footprints on the pathway. The air smells fresh & clean and I love the cooler breeze it makes. What a gift. I want to be that gift to others.
