Rain

"Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary." Psalm 68:9
We have been broiling here under an intense heat wave in the Punjab.  The temperature has reached 100, every day for over 2 months.  Some days it went as high as 115!  All of us were weary of the intense heat, and have been looking and praying for rain.  Finally...finally...yesterday some dark clouds rolled in.
I took these pictures from the roof of our house

After so many weeks of scorching heat...we felt a cool breeze.....
"Feel the wind, Mom!"

Then....the rain came!
The children ran out to play, and many of our neighbors were on their roofs, or in their front yards enjoying the rain.
It rained for about 1/2 an hour, and the temperature actually dipped below 90.  Today, it rained harder and longer and the temperature got down to 85! 
Thank you, Lord, for sending the rain, and refreshing us, when we were weary!
