Learning to Dance in the Rain

King Solomon wrote,

"There is a time for everything:

A time to be born,
A time to die;
A time to plant;
A time to harvest;
A time to kill;
A time to heal;
A time to destroy;
A time to rebuild;
A time to cry;
A time to laugh;
A time to grieve;
A time to dance;
A time for scattering stones;
A time for gathering stones;
A time to hug;
A time not to hug;
A time to find;
A time to lose;
A time for keeping;
A time for throwing away;
A time to tear;
A time to repair;
A time to be quiet;
A time to speak up;
A time for loving;
A time for hating;
A time for war;
A time for peace...

...Everything is appropriate in its own time.  But though God has planted eternity in the hearts of men,, even so, man cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end... And I know this, that whatever God does is final--nothing can be added or taken away from it; God's purpose in this is that man should fear (have reverence for) the all-powerful God."  
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, 11, 14 (TLB).

I think that perhaps this wise King realized the importance of dancing in the rain.  I think we would be wise to learn to do the same.  I hope you have a day of reflection and one of looking forward to the
