Like a million kisses...

Today... I asked God to show me His love for me. I mean I know He does love me and I don't doubt it but I just needed Him to show me. He did. After a day full of work (which doesn't ever feel like work) I went to go feed all the horses and as I put down the first bucket the heavens just BROKE LOOSE! To some, or most, this would be awful but to me.. it was absolutely incredible. Breath-taking. I just stood there with the other buckets in my hands looking up to my God, laughing. Sometimes things just touch my heart and I don't even know why but today it was, truly, a million kisses from my father. I seriously felt insane for laughing but that was my first reaction to my Lord and His incredible love for me. To me rain has always meant freedom- a numbing freedom. Its romantic. Its enveloping. Its practical beauty. It brings a promise. It shows new beginnings. It has the power to wash away. It makes me want to run. It makes me feel loved. How odd...but it actually does. It actually makes me feel loved.
