In the narrow view, especially in the summer months, rainy days can seem depressing and worthy of avoidance.
Rain cancels softball games.
Rain ruins the trip to the zoo.
Rain keeps us out of the pool.
Rain causes us to feel cramped up inside.
Rain inhibits the barbeque.
Indeed all true...but...
Rainy days, and analogous rain-like moments in life, are essential to the full stories in life.
Rain makes things new.
Rain causes our gardens to grow.
Rain allows produce to be produced.
Rain gives rise to beautiful sunsets.
Rain gives contrast to bring vibrancy to our world.
Rainy days are tough and disappointing in the moment...but are so much more when the perspective is broader and more complete.
