McClain Family Blog: First rain

1 Corinthians 3:4-9

"For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?

What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."

First rain

Costa Rica has two main seasons...rainy (which is hot) and dry (which is even hotter). Dry season lasts from about mid-November through mid-May, generally. Rainy season lasts through the months of May through November. Last year, it stopped raining early and things got really dry really fast. Just last week, we received the first rain of the year. It was only abut a 20-minute shower, but it was enough to cool things off a bit and soak the ground enough to noticeably lessen the dust.

Our kids took off outside as soon as they heard the drops on the roof and stayed out until the last drop fell! Everyone here thinks you'll get sick if you go out and play in the rain like that...but my kiddos didn't seem to mind...and they are all still healthy as ever!

Here are a few pictures of their fun!
