Suprised by Joy

Got up this morning at 5am while listening to a beautiful sound. At first I didn't recognize it...my mind trying to recall exactly what it takes to make this acoustic song...for it has almost been relegated to legend of late. And then in an instant the memory crystallized as a clap of thunder and lightening brightened the bedroom. Rain sweet rain. Washing the land. Washing the soul. Making all things new.

And before we are able to exactly recognize the cry and laughter of Baby Hamilton, she/he will be with us...changing us forever...filling us with joy...

I love the rain.
