"When the king smiles, there is life; his favor refreshes like a spring rain."
Today is the first day of spring. And it has been raining, all night and all day. It's cold and wet and our flowers have got quite a drink. It's been the kind of rain that makes you want to stay inside, cuddled up on the couch with your love, watching a movie and drinking hot chocolate. The kind that sounds refreshing from the rooftop, the kind that leads your refreshment by keeping you inside.
I've felt tired today, physically worn out from a somewhat sleepless night with my Gramcakes and a busy day out and about in the spring rain. My body feels exhausted, it feels worn out from life, the good kind of worn out. The kind of worn out from staying up late with my husband, from filling our days with quality time with friends, from purposeful interactions with my little Gram man, from life...life full of blessing and favor and spring rain. I am excited for rest tonight, whatever amount God and Gram decide to bestow on me, and another day tomorrow filled with life and, most likely, more rain.
The King smiles on me and I am refreshed.
Joy comes in the morning....
