Rain

the sky was cloudy and it was raining...and for one reason or another my life seemed much like the weather, wet, cold, unfruitful, and stormy. I felt restless so i ventured out into the storm. As i walked, to no particular place, i prayed. Well more of i complained to God about the storm of a life i was living... i was tired of the rain both inside and out.

As i walked i heard no reply except the constant drip of the raindrops as they fell. Out of know where a thought flashed through my self pity - "Katie - remember how you use to like the rain? how when you were young you would run and laugh just because it was raining outside? why not now?" So since no one was around i did, i stopped avoiding the rain and instead embraced it, i ran, i laughed, and i forgot my troubles. I was lost in the joy of just living

Slowly the rain stopped pounding and retreated to a soft drizzle,and as i sighed a little voice said to me - Katie just enjoy the rain in life, then it doesn't seem as bad.

So in your life... have you learned to enjoy the rain?
