A Child's Rain

via weheartit

Up above all the clouds, the sea,
Is leaking crystal drops on me.
The clouds are getting rather thick.
They must repair the holes real quick.
The ground is getting very wet,
If it gets a cold I'll call the vet.
The trees are catching lots of rain,
I hope it's not causing them any pain.
I bet the flowers are fine and dandy,
For them the rain is pretty handy.
People run into whatever is near,
But it's just rain, what's to fear?
I enjoy all these rainy days.
Rain is good, I hope it stays.
If it does, and never stops,
We'll make some boats with pointy tops.
Oh boy, I hope that it doesn't hail.
Well, that's just a whole other tale!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

via weheartit

I can hear the rain outside my window. It has been raining ever since I walked out the door this morning. I don't like the wet, gloomy weather that much. I want the flowers to come. The flowers that everyone has been posting on their blogs. I know that flowers wouldn't grow in May without all the rain in April. I guess I just have to be patient. You know what they say, 'good things come to those who wait.'

It's interesting how it all works. I'm able to look forward to all the beautiful flowers May will bring. I imagine the lovely flowers we'll be planting in the backyard soon! It goes to show, even through some of the less fun times, there's always something you can anticipate.

Even though I may not like the rain, the flowers need it. Sometimes in our lives, things happen that we may not like. But God sees everything. That one little discomfort for us, may really benefit someone else. We need to trust Him ... trust that He knows what He's doing. Trust that He's got everything in control, and that after that rainstorm, the flowers will bloom just at the right moment.
