How Rain Works

Ben and I have some of our best and funniest conversations driving in the truck. It had been raining and cool for quite a few day when we left to meet Brian for lunch today. Ben: Why does the weatherman keep making it rain? Mom: The weatherman just tells us what he thinks will probably happen with the weather. God chooses if it will rain or not each day. Ben: Why does God keep sending rain for us everyday? Mom: He decided that someone around here needed it. Plus, it makes the plants grow and washes the earth so it is nice and clean and smells great. Quiet for a few minutes... Ben: EEEW!!! I know, maybe God has a button that he just pushes to turn the rain on. Mom: Maybe you're right. I'm not exactly sure how he does it. Quiet for a few more minutes... Ben: EEEW!!! Actually, maybe its a lever. That could work better. Mom: Stifles laugh. Ben: Or maybe he uses a handle like we have in our backyard to turn on the green hose to water the lawn. That could be it. We are still undecided as to the official method God uses to send the rain, but whatever it is, it works.
