A Rainy Day
At times when it rains outside,
We let it rain within,
Until we look above and see...
God knows just what to send.
Without rain, no gardens would grow;
There'd be no beauty of Spring;
No fruit would be in the vineyard;
No bountiful crop to bring.
Without life's difficulties and hardships,
Our hearts would never know
The nurturing tender care of the Father,
And our souls would never grow.
There'd be no fruit in our lives to share
With our sister and our brother;
No genuine empathy or compassion
Would be felt for one another.
Father, help us to always give thanks
For the trials that come our way,
Knowing You're growing spiritual fruit
When we face A Rainy Day.
"And the rain descended, and the floods came,
and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;
and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock."
(Matt. 7:25)
