Day 12 of 30 Days of Thankfulness (Storms)

I know this is like a no brainer today since thunder is what woke me up this morning but I really do LOVE storms. People are always saying words like dreary and blah to describe a rainy day.  Not me! I think they are the best days ever.  To me the rain is cleansing, nourishing, and invigorating.  After a good rain it is like everything is fresh almost like a giant Do-Over. 

I think the rain reminds me of my favorite verse:

Lamentations 3:21-23
²¹ Yet this I call to mind
   and therefore I have hope:
 ²² Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
   for his compassions never fail.
²³ They are new every morning

It is like after the rain everything is new!  All the ick is washed away and everything is clean.  So I love a rainy stormy day and all the thunder and stuff that comes with it. Maybe it is just my optimistic nature but I always think there is a rainbow even if I don't see it!
