Drought as defined in World Book Dictionary is:

• a long period of dry weather; continued lack of rain
• lack of water; dryness
• Archaic. thirst

We have experienced such a season.  Our corn is stessed.  Grass has failed.  The garden has had to be watered.

We have brown grass that has ceased to grow.  Mowing has been suspended.  As a result some plants that grow with the grass are able to grow and blossom.  We are experiencing beauty even in the midst of drought.

Even in a spiritual drought or thirst, all is not lost.  Look for the blooming beauty that the Lord has there for you.  He makes beauty even in the hard times.
