Pastors Perspective May 2012

April Showers Bring May Flowers

I have always heard this title and think of it every April when it rains.  Honestly, I'm not positive who coined the phrase, but I am certain it points to the rain giving help to the beautiful blooms we see in late spring.  

Today, I think of a different meaning.  Some of you are reading while being showered down upon by a monsoon of difficulties, stresses, decisions, and turmoil.  Giving up may have wriggled into your mind, staying down could have presented itself as an option.  Please understand that the storms you endure today will bloom in days to come.  The showers enhance the flowers, just like the troubles we face allow God to cause the blessing to be even sweeter...Gal. 6:9
