Dit reën! / It’s raining! – 'n Skrywer se blok
O hoe lief het ek die reën! Die woord vir iemand wat lief is vir reën weer is:
The word pluviophilecomes from the Latin word “pluvial,” which means rain, and “phile,” which denotes a thing or a person. Therefore, a pluviophile is a lover of rain, or someone that finds joy and peace of mind during the rainy days.
Gister het ons ‘n verskriklike sandstorm hier by ons beleef. Dit was wind en stof oral! Nie eens te praat van die 37•C hitte nie! Die wind was so warm soos ‘n bruidegom op sy huweliksnag!
En vandag het dit begin reën.
Vanoggend op pad skool toe bid ons soos oudergewoonte, maar ek besluit om vandag vir die kids elkeen iets spesifieks te gee waarvoor hul moet bid. Sussie moet vir reën bid. “Jesus, gee vir ons reën. Ons dam is leeg. Gee vir ons reën dan kan die vissies ook weer water drink.” Dog ek lek haar nat en sluk haar heel is so blêddie cute is sy!
Daar was ‘n oproep dat ons vandag om 13:00pm moet saam bid vir reën. So is daar gedoen en reën dit so uur later.
Ek staan op daardie stadium in ‘n winkel. Ek bid. “Here, mag hierdie reën nou ook aanhoudend en deurdringend wees tot almal oor die land volgens U genoeg gekry het.”
My ma noem dat ons selfs okay sal wees met vloede. 😅 En hier in my binneste sê ek ook. Vloede is okay. Help ons net om ons Arke gereed te hê.
Soos die weer nou drom hier buite voel ek verfris en gelukkig. Soos bogenoem vind ek vreugde en kalmte in die reën. Blykbaar is mense wat die reën geniet oor die algemeen gelukkiger met die lewe. Meer vreugdevol. Vandag kan ek jou een ding verseker. Niemand in ons gemeenskap is vandag ongelukkig oor hierdie buitjie nie, ons is almal dolgelukkig en dankbaar.
Oh how much I love the rain! The word for someone who loves rain is:
The word pluviophile is translated from the Latin word “pluvial,” which means rain, and “phile,” which denotes a thing or a person. Therefore, a pluviophile is a lover of rain, or someone who finds joy and peace of mind during the rainy days.
Yesterday we experienced a terrible sandstorm here. It was wind and dust everywhere! Not to mention the 37 degrees Celsius heat! The wind was as hot as a groom on his wedding night!
And today it started to rain
This morning on our way to school we pray as usual, but today I decided to give the kids something specific for them to pray for. Tjoeks has to pray for rain. "Jesus, give us rain. Our dam is empty. Give us rain then the fish can also drink water again." Thought I gobbled her up! She was so cute!
There was a call that we should pray together today at 13:00 for rain. That's how it was done and it rained about 1 hour later.
I was standing in a store at that point. I pray. "Lord, may this rain be sustained and pervasive now, until you have given enough for everyone across South Africa."
My mother mentioned that we would even be okay with floods. 😅 And here in my heart I say too. Floods are okay. Just help us have our Ark ready.
As the weather drums outside I feel refreshed and happy. As mentioned above, I find joy and peace of mind in the rain. Apparently, people who enjoy the rain are generally happier with life. More joyful. Today I can assure you one thing. No one in our community is unhappy about this rain today, we are all happy and grateful.
