I've been keeping an eye on the cows all day to make sure
their water tanks are full, and they have plenty of shade.
So far, so good.
It's another hot, humid day here in Chatham County.
This afternoon, after my second round of watering the cows
I parked the truck in the middle of the pasture while the
water unloaded from the tank in the truck to the tank in the pasture.
I noticed magnificent, fluffy grey clouds billowing out in the distance.
The sky got beautiful and dark, and then the
clouds burst open and started to storm.
As I sat in the cozy truck, listening to the water pounding on the car
and the thunder booming around me, I thought
about the Nielson 2021-22 family theme,
I thought about God and how He is everywhere all the time
and all at once.
He is in the rain.
He is in the grass.
He is in the soil.
He is life.
I wouldn't know any of that if I wasn't being still.
If I didn't look for it.
There is so much conflict and confusion in the world,
I was so grateful for this quiet moment in the car
listening to God.
I am prayerfully considering our family theme this year.
Nothing has come yet, but I know it will.
Now I know why Christian loves watering the cows every day,
he gets to be surrounded by beauty and stillness.
He gets to sit with God.
