Prayed for sun

Fr. Davis' mother was scheduled to arrive from Louisiana today for a week-long visit, and apparently her first to the Pacific Northwest. This being an iffy time of year weather-wise, as we shift from the gorgeous long dry (most years!) summer days towards dark gloomy wet winter, a number of us were praying for sunshine so she would enjoy her visit, for all that the early mornings are going to be chilly.

When I awoke this morning and looked out the window, all I could think was, "It's not going to happen." Dark, and with the reddish-brown dawn light that says "rain" or at least overcast. But it turned out okay. It burned off and the day became bright, warm and sunny.

But there is rain in the forecast...
