It's raining (at least it is as I write this). It's nothing new for the hearty people of the Pacific Northwest. I happen to love the rain, but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who don't like the rain at all. The fact is, whether you like the rain or not-- you don't have a choice of what the weather is that you get. Pain is a lot like rain. It will fall on "the just and unjust" (Matt. 5:45), but what's most important is how we deal with it. If we choose to "bloom where we are planted" no matter what the circumstance, we can have the right perspective of the character that God is trying to build in our lives. Remember that nothing can grow without rain, so thank God for liquid sunshine.
