“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Blessed rain !

The rain has come, and I am so thankful !

My dryer has been out for a couple of weeks, but I haven't been concerned, as it's been so dry, and I hang out most of my clothes regularly anyway.  I only dry jeans and towels to avoid the horrible stiffness that they get from drying on the clothesline.

Well, yesterday I hung out a load of clothes and it started raining !   I rushed out to get them, but not quickly enough, so I wrung out the most of the water, and left them to dry overnight.   When they were even wetter this morning, I ran them through a rinse cycle and returned them to the line.  Before they were fully dry.......you guessed it, right?........it started to rain again.  Well, this time I took down the nearly-dry clothes and put them in a basket to wait.   I had called the dryer repairman earlier in the day, thinking that I would replace the dryer, but quickly deciding that it would be more prudent to repair it instead.

He arrived about an hour after taking the clothes in, and replaced the thermal fuse.  Now she's running like a a top again, the clothes are dry, folded and put away, and mama's all happy !  I enjoyed an entire afternoon of slow, soaking rain, and praised the LORD for his bounty and blessings.

  1. I'm glad for you that your dryer was fixable! We had a similar experience with our frig. And then, I give credit to the Lord....a man came to have a look at it that actually knew how to fix it....hurrah!!! In the past 2 or 3 years it had blown a hose and flooded our basement family room. Then it stopped keeping things cold...just lately. Fixed now though & we're grateful..so I know the feeling!

    I'm glad you like the puzzle site so much...I thought it was pretty nice too. =) I like those bits of music they play when you are done. I signed up for the free brain training games too.. did you try those? I must do a puzzle tonight....we've not been home from prayer meeting very long. Long enough to cut up a watermelon though and eat strawberries dipped in Cool Whip. Would you believe Lowe's sold watermelon for $2. each? Neither could we...but we have proof...lol
