Rain

With my last post being about how beautiful the sky is I thought that today I could talk about rain. Rainy days, we all experience them. When we have events that have to do with the outdoors we hope that it doesn't rain. When we travel we hope that the rain doesn't delay us. On somebody's wedding day we hope it doesn't rain. On a birthday we hope it doesn't rain. At a sporting event we hope it doesn't rain. The list can go on and on. However, we all know that we need the rain. Rain enables the things planted in the Earth to grow but sometimes we let the interference of rain irritate us when it changes our plans. (It's not about Our plans either, it's about God's plans for us)

There's another way to look at the rain. Rain I believe is a beautiful thing. Here's why. Rain is a direct connection from the sky to the earth and something that we can physically feel on our bodies. So when it rains on the day of a special occasion maybe you can think of the rain in a different way especially if you have loved ones who passed away and you know that if they were alive they would be at the event you were going to. You can think of the rain as that person letting you know that they too are thinking of you and that they are still there with you. It's pretty powerful when you change the perspective of what it means when rain falls from the sky. Just as the rain falls to the earth to help nourish things the rain can also nourish our hearts. God loves us so much that He must have created rain to fall from the sky to show that He wants to give us nourishment, in our hearts and in the things that grow on the earth.
