Rain...

"Don't rain on my parade." "Rain, Rain go away come again another day." I sure you've heard these little quotes before when it comes to rain being equated with having a bad day. Let's look at this rain mindset. We all know that in order for plants, animals and people alike to survive we must have rain. In order for life to grow and flourish rain must fall. Now back to rain and it's negative implication. Just like rain can make things grow, bad days (or rain, if you will) also will make us grow as Christians. If nothing bad ever happened we would become complacent and feel we did not need to improve. As long as we live in this world bad things will happen. Take those bad events in your life as an opportunity to improve and grow. We need the rain, be it good or bad. Trust the Lord in all things; he will help you deal with anything that comes your way.
