When torrential downpours beat on the heads of my newly planted petunias, I felt bad for them. I wanted to bring them inside to shelter them from the storm. By the time the rain stopped, their little faces were bowed to the ground from the weight of the water. They looked sad and weak. Within a few hours, however, they perked up and turned their heads skyward. By the next day, they were standing straight and strong.
What a transformation! After pounding them on the head, the rain dripped from their leaves, soaked into the soil, and came up through their stalks, giving them the strength to stand straight.
Because I prefer sunshine, I get annoyed when rain spoils my outdoor plans. I sometimes wrongly think of rain as something negative. But anyone who has experienced drought knows that rain is a blessing. It nourishes the earth for the benefit of both the just and the unjust (Matt. 5:45).
Even when the storms of life hit so hard that we nearly break from the force, the rain is not an enemy. Our loving God has allowed it to make us stronger. He uses the water that batters us on the outside to build us up on the inside, so we may stand straight and strong.
Read: Matthew 5:38-48
You can't help but be influenced by the world around you, and winter is your time to slow down and relax. You are genuinely nice and a joy to be around. You have a natural serenity that makes others feel calm. You are unpretentious and very real. You find it easy to connect to others just by being yourself. ~ Well With That, Greetings From Down UnDa ~ ~ Here's What Happens When An Aussie Moves North Of The Equator ~

Hi Kathy. I’m the impulsive adrenaline extreme sport risk taker. Yepan that’s pretty much been me ever since I was young. They didn’t list snow football, my favorite winter sport. Full contact, full speed. I played like a crazed kamikaze. It was great.

Sorry to say I have to post and run.
Bossman must have sent me 10 emails yesterday

Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.
