“In the past God let all the nations do what they wanted.
But God was always there doing the good things that prove he is real.
He gives you rain from heaven and good harvests at the right times.
He gives you plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”
Acts 14:16-18 Easy-to-Read Version
Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth;
without rain, there would be no life.
John Updike
The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Like a welcome summer rain,
humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you.
Langston Hughes
It is no use to grumble and complain;
It’s just as cheap and easy to rejoice;
When God sorts out the weather and sends rain –
Why, rain’s my choice.
– James Whitcomb Riley
Sing out your thanks to the Lord; sing praises to our God with a harp.
He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth,
and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures.
Psalm 147:7-8 New Living Translation
And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down.
Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
