Rains

We practice football once a week at a local school, but we have to finish early enough for some adults to have a game after us... And it is now the rainy season. Last week we lost two practice days to rain. We had arranged for 2 members of the Sattha soccer team (one is a coach based in Lopburi) to come lead our practice, and Nate (8) and Pete (6) were afraid rain would ruin our practice. We'd been praying, and also talking about how God knows what's best for everyone, as the farmers and the water table really need a wet rainy season this year.
Here's what happened: we had great weather for our regular practice that day, but it rained a lot that night. By the time our two special guests arrived, the mud was dry enough for our practice... but the adults who usually practice after us thought it was too muddy! So we got an extra long practice ... and not long after the practice ended, there was another significant rainfall! (Brenda Noble, Ayuttya church planting)
- Praise God for the lesson he taught the children through the rain!
- Pray for the children of missionary families – that they might grow in their knowledge and understanding of God, and how he works. Pray for protection from them.
- Praise God that he does know what’s best!
