There has been lots and lots of rain recently. Minor flooding has occured around the area – I even heard that Warrigal Road was closed for a good part of Sunday because of the flash flooding.
This afternoon on the train I was looking out the window at all the rain that was pouring down and commented to a man sitting opposite to me that there was so much of it! He then replied something to the effect that whilst there was lots of rain, we did need it.
And that reminded me of something I read briefly on the MatthiasMedia website under the ‘Couldn’t Help But Notice’ column. A sometimes cynical and slightly sarcastic column, but at other times quite insightful.
This little ‘notice’ I read concerned the drought that Queensland was experiencing during the winter. It made the comment that drought was a curse that God put on the land when the people had forgotten them.
What an interesting thought. Maybe we can share that with our friends the next time we think about the drought…or the ‘timely’ rain.
