Dear God

Prayer said by Kylie tonight after talking to her brother Richard in Uganda:

"Dear God,
Please let it rain in Uganda so that my brother Richard won't die."

She prayed more, but my fried brain can't remember now - after less than 5 hours of sleep last night and a baby shower with almost 30 ladies at our house today for Nathalie.

Yes, the baby shower was wonderful and it was great being able to bless Nathalie and have some special food and drink!!!

WE ARE SOOOOOOOOO BLESSED!!!!

And now, Lord, I do want to ask you to LET IT RAIN in Uganda!
You see how bore-holes are dried up and other water sources that normally provide water to many are gone as well.

They NEED rain - for drinking

and cooking

and washing

- and for the crops - so that they can eat!

Thank you that Richard is provided for and won't die of thirst or hunger.

But many others might -

especially those living in rural areas.

I do feel for the many whose tiny mud huts will get completely washed out in the rain

and everything becoming mud

YET - I know that even these people would be wishing for the rain to come.

So - LET IT RAIN, LET IT RAIN, OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN!!!
