Rainfall

Today it rained; it was wonderful. The temperature dropped from 90 degrees to 83 degrees in 40 or so minutes, making the outside world a delightful place to be. Sweet change.
Yesterday, I felt like I had my own rainfall. Sunday morning I woke up and felt a bit "blah" which continued through the day. I let my head and heart get focused on the negative and nothing was quite shaking it. Then in the twinkling of an eye it changed.
The change was due to a conversation I had with a friend and in the middle of the conversation something I said hit. There was silence, then a few tears. At that moment I realized that it had nothing to do with what I said - God moved.
And he used me. That's what got me so excited. God used me in this person's life. I had no right to expect to be used, no claim on it, and he could have used someone else, but he caused it to be me and I was blessed by it. The discouraged, inward looking faded away and joy started bubbling up. It's continued today.
What a beautiful change that can sweep in such a short time.
