"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with
silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby."
Langston Hughes
First of all, my thoughts and prayers are with those in Mexico and Texas impacted by Hurricane Patricia.
Because the weather here is fairly consistent without any extreme changes in temperature, I never bother to check the forecast. I typically dread rainy, cloudy, or otherwise overcast days; but lately I've found that I don't seem to mind when the clouds, the wind, and the rain come. Aside from wanting to curl up with a good book or a classic movie along with a glass of wine, I've learned a few lessons along the way.
Embrace the storm. The rain, no matter how hard or softly it falls, always has a healing, cleansing effect. If that downpour comes in the form of tears, allow it to have its way, praising the One who controls the wind, the rain, and the waves.
Storms aren't meant to last. The sun will come out again. In the meantime, sing, play, and dance in the rain.

There is always a rainbow (or two) after every storm. There will always be storms in life. Sometimes it's just a drizzle. Other times it may feel as if we've been swept away by a monsoon; but the appearance of rainbows reminds us that God is always with us.

they shall not overflow thee."
