Rainy Days

A lot of people have been complaining about all the rain we’ve had lately. And we have had a lot. But when I think of all the good that will eventually come from the rain, it makes it all worth while.

The same is true for the “rainy” days in our personal lives. As we persevere through the storms of life that we face on a daily basis, we are strengthened and nourished much like the rain does for the flowers that we so enjoy when they are in full bloom. When it rains, the drops of water beat down on the flowers, grass and trees eventually soaking into the soil which then quenches the roots of its thirst.

The storms we face may beat down on us and may seem to last but they only serve us and nourish our souls so that we may grow and flourish and bloom into strong weathered trees that can offer shade and some comfort for others going through a storm.
