When it rains, it pours

Lately, its been raining for weeks on end and many of you know it affects our mood and motivation. I remember being younger and comforted by the rain. The sound of the storm, the drizzle of rain or breeze from an open window, used to relax me. But, its not always just physical rain that gets you down.

Its emotional rain…

The feeling that you have no control over the situation. The feeling that no matter what you do your emotional home is drowning in sadness. It’s a miserable cycle. And just when you think things are beginning to look up it rains again.

So why don’t we learn to “pour” light and hope into the situation. Ecclesiastes 3 talks about their being a time for everything under the sun. We may not be able to stop the rain, but what we can do is change how we feel about it. Rain is designed for things to grow. We have to realize the rain won’t last always and the sun will shine again. And when it does it gives us hope and thankfulness for a brand new day or a brand new situation.

Just a thought I had that I plan to apply to my own life. Remember, we are in this thing together!!
