Rain

The tears of God wash over us, as another act of violence disrupts our world.  God’s tears join the cries of our hearts when even one Child is taken from this world too soon. 

But rain brings not pain.  It waters the ground, in which has the seed of hope has been planted, budding forth from the rich soil with new life, and more, which is to come. Green and yellow and orange and red and violet are the colors of life. 

Life and death, the beginning and the end.  Rain washes the dust away and nourishes the earth and our soul.  The sun will return.  The Son will return.  And soon, a rainbow.
