I don't know why, but I actually enjoyed walking in the rain this morning.
Before I went to bed last night, I decided that I would go on a walk this morning before working on some homework to go outside for a bit and find God's peace. I walked on the trail next to the Tagus River for fifteen minutes, then made my way back. It started raining on the way back to the foundation. It wasn't drizzling, but it wasn't raining hard either. I actually found myself enjoying it. I can't explain it. I just kind of liked it.
I've been annoyed by the rain lately because I often think it will ruin everything. That's true for a lot of things. If you're planning on going to the beach and it rains that day, you probably aren't going to the beach anymore. It's supposed to rain when I go to Barcelona this weekend. I am telling myself that I am still going to enjoy my time there despite the rain. Maybe I'll even enjoy the rain like today.
Rain is like the circumstances we go through in life. It's the break-ups, failing grades, sicknesses, arguments, financial problems, and all the other trials we face. Rain comes down to help the flowers grow. It helps the vegetables grow too, so we can eat pumpkin pie for the holidays with our families and eat homemade broccoli cheddar soup. Just like the rain, the trials we are given are to help us grow. These things we go through will make us trust in God more, strengthening our faith. It's all for our good. It'll be worth it in the end.
I'm thankful for the rain. I'm thankful for the hard times. The rainbow will come soon.
