There is a vacation home in the back woods of southern Utah where my family and I have gone nearly every January for the past 8 years.

We found it at a time when our lives were in major transition and upheaval. As we drove up to the house for the first time, we were all amazed at how incredible the place was. A large mountain home on 5 acres, this place became our sanctum after the busyness of the holidays.

And last week, we found out that the house sold and is no longer listed as a vacation rental.

The Miracle of Rain

I woke up this morning to the pitter-patter of rain. I couldn’t help but offer a cozy smile as I pulled the blankets over me just a little more.

There is something inherently so soothing about rain, especially here in Southern California where it has been in such short supply these days.

Just like the gentle breeze on a spring day invites us out, rain invites us in.
