Rain
As I was driving through a really bad storm last night, I began to think about the word rain. Have you ever considered the enormity of this word, especially for a person of faith? On one hand, we think of rain as a lovely part of Spring that brings May flowers. It refreshes the world and gives us color and beauty. Then on the other hand, we tend to look at the bad times in our lives as the "rain" and we ask for strength to live through the "rain" in our lives and to look for the sunshine. And yet, if you think about it, that too can bring beauty to our lives. For as we look to our faith to see us through the "rain", we believe that beauty and peace wait just on the other side of the storm.

I completely understand what you mean! RAIN can be used in so many different contexts. It's hard, sometimes, to understand how the "rain" in our lives can be used to grow us. But it does.
ReplyDeleteBut when it comes to the "rain of blessings" from the Lord, I'm all over that! LOL :)
Looking forward to more of your posts, Aunt Goosey!
