I looked around the parking lot....a few ladies, who probably just had their lunch break, were fleeing the scene to their Nissans to rescue their poofy hair.
I walked slowly.....each step...my feet completely drenched along with my Missimo flip-flops.
Not a care.
The sun was still shining...and as my mother always says ;o) "There's a rainbow somewhere!"
[What a promise.]
I didn't hurry to my car.
But looked up.
Often, rain is considered to be a bad case.
Like in a movie- the saddest scenes are always in the rain.
Like in a song- "Why does it always have to rain on me?" - Travis
It symbolizes trials in life, sadness, and negativity. [But the rainbow!] Don't forget the rainbow!!! It spoke in volumes today!
I have always picked out the Brilliance of the Sunshine in my life but never considered the Beauty of the Rainy Seasons. Not only can there be joy in the Rainy Season...but it brings renewal...it refreshes....it restores and nourishes the dead and brings Abundant Life!
This is a new way of thinking for me.
Instead of focusing on how wet I am (or am getting)
I need to learn to focus my attention on the growth in the earth. (and my heart!)
To realize the hope of that which will spring forth because of it. Look deeper, friend!
Next time you're running to your car........and it's raining...
Don't run.
Just look up.
Look into the face of Jesus.
Praise Him. :o)
