Singing in the Rain

It rained hardly at all during the summer and this week we have had rain for 4-5 days straight. One never does realize how much one loves the sun until you don't see it for awhile! But instead of wasting my time wishing it would stop raining and the sun would come out I am going to enjoy the beauty of water droplets rippling a puddle and the sound of them dropping on the roof over my bed. Come to think of it I am going to stop wishing I could get out of this valley in my life, this hard place, and (at least try to) enjoy the learning process. There is so much I can be enjoying in this time in my life and I won't let painful and hard "things" overshadow them. I will never have this exact time again and I don't want to waste it wishing I was out of it. I am going to learn to focus on the good in everything, not just in good things. Thank you Jesus!
