I attended an auction just outside of Clever yesterday. My mother called me around 7:30 or so while I was out tending our dogs, and told me that a couple who has been there long time friends was having an auction, and would I take them? At first I said “No! I have plenty to get done today”, but about an hour later I called her back and told her I would take them.
The drive up there was in much needed rain; and it rained and it rained and it kept on raining. By the end of the day we had pools of water, running water, my grass seed getting plenty of water. Yippppppeeee!!! Anyway; back to the sale. They had a few items I wanted to bid on. I never even got in a bid because they started out higher than I could afford or wanted to pay. I am happy for the couple having the sale; it was good for them.
There is something I have noticed about a lot of auctions I have attended. People lose their heads at these things. They end up paying the same price or more for a used item than they could buy a new one for in some cases.
I am sure thankful for the rain. The grass is starting to green up again. That is a good thing.
Thank YOU Lord for sending water to the earth and nourishment for it.
