Rain falls. You wish for it to let up. You don't get your wish. You wish harder, looking at the gloomy sky and feeling the chilly wind rip the umbrella out of your hand. You want to curse the wind, but wait a minute. Remember that old adage...April showers bring May flowers. Look around. Take a deep breath. See the purple and green peeking out of the ground. The trees are glowing with their glorious blooms....Smell the perfume of the flowering trees....so beautiful.
It is worth it. Rain and storms clear the air. You wait patiently for the sun, hoping its rays will dry the ground. Forget your worries about the flooding waters. Instead hang your hopes on the One who holds everything in his hands. Rejoice, I say...rejoice. New life is coming from the old.
