It's Good Friday, and it's raining

For years, I have noticed that it often rains on Good Friday.  Perhaps it's because April Showers are typical.  Or perhaps, God is helping me to remember.  Maybe both.  Regardless, I try to remember.  Remember something I did not see with my own eyes.  Something I need to see with my mind's eye more often that I do.

It's all been paid.  This Gift is authentic.  There's no replacement, and nothing I can do, to make it better.

May the rain that falls today be the tears I do not shed.
Blurring my sight of all things temporal.  Allowing a sharp eternal focus.
May it symbolize the tears shed by the Father, and the Son.
And remind me that my sin is washed away.
