Rain Makes Things Grow, so get out your umbrella

                                    RAIN MAKES THINGS GROW

Rain can be annoying.  It can be messy and can ruin your hair and even your day if you allow it to.  Rain makes puddles, gets nice outfits wet, creates mud, and sometimes floods low- lying areas.  There are things in your life and mine that flood our lives with mud.  There are people who make puddles that get in our way.  There are situations, like rain, that seem to get our ideas and our dreams messy and unfit to be seen in public.  Suddenly they just don’t seem good enough any more.  Well, maybe your boss did yell at you.  Maybe no one wants to see your bright ideas.  Perhaps you feel under appreciated… because you are.  No one is listening and no one sees that you are doing your best.  In fact, you are doing more work than those who are sitting beside you, but no one seems to care.  God notices, and He cares.  Remember this, RAIN MAKES THINGS GROW.   Troubles and struggles teach you about yourself.  People watch how you handle struggle and begin to admire the way you carry yourself even through a storm.  Those who were ignoring your genius suddenly begin to think that you are the one they want representing the company, organization, presentation, staff etc., because when the rains came you put up an umbrella and continued to move forward.  When the puddles formed in front of you, you jumped over them. When the lightening flashed, you used the light to see your way through.  When the floods came, you commandeered a boat and rode the waves.  The troubles and struggles of life and work didn’t stop you from succeeding or completing your task.  In fact they made you more creative, more determined, and tougher than even you thought you could be.

Dr. King once said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy,” ~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

RAIN MAKES THINGS GROW. Don’t allow the rain in your life stop you.  

Get out in the rain and put on your boots, raincoat, and grab your umbrella.  Flowers are about to spring up in your life.
