Rain

Though Grandpa struggled with his faith, I think of him as a man of faith. I remember once he shared with us that he wanted to obey God and not work on Sunday. The hay was ready to be put up and it was due to rain. All his neighbors were working all Sunday to get the haying done but he decided he shouldn't. Monday it rained. He said it rained all around him but it didn't rain on his crops. I know sometimes he worked on Sunday and I know God does not always bless us by changing the weather to suit our desires, but I believe, and Grandpa believed, God gave him that blessing to strengthen his faith and reward him for his righteousness.
