Topic: rain (10/17/05)
REFRESH THIS EMPTY VESSEL

As Amari, slowly strode to the front door gently opening it to peek out to see the rain falling ever so strong she thinks to herself, rain rain go away. Suddenly a strong wind came blowing rain drops on her checks and she is reminded that rain is a Gift from God.
Grandma Alice, always said be still child while the Lord is working.
Perhaps right around the corner there is Gwen, who can no longer hear the rain because of hearing lost or Reggie, who has no feeling from the neck down and would give anything to once again feel the rain on his swollen face.
Courtney, who live several miles up the way wishes she could see the rain falling just one more time for you see she is blind.
Jimmy, who fellowships with me at the local church desires to feel the rain on the arms and hands that he no longer has.
Lord, remind me that the earth and Everything therein needs your Rain. There is nothing that can sustain without your Rain that you alone provide.
Without the rain this empty vessel of mine can’t strive. Refresh me o’lord with your rain, refresh my spirit, soul, mind and body.
Rain your Glory from heaven on me o’lord and never let me forget that it’s a gift from you.

It starts as a narrative and ends in a prayer. Watch the tense shifts. I fear the theme might have been overdone - too much of a good thing makes a narrative heavy. The theme and message can be carried without the burden of so many examples - which seem contrived. This is a wonderful start - with work it will build into a strong message. Thank you for posting.

You have written a powerful message. yes, you need some work on the structure and sentences but your idea is great and that is half the battle!Keep at it!:)
