Thought for the day

Here's a nice little thought that I've learned to really love:

"Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

  I've realized how true that is the more I go day to day in life. I think you would all agree that there are times when things really just aren't going the way we wish they would. In our minds we think we have figured out the perfect way and when life proves otherwise, it can be frustrating, sad, disappointing, etc. This quote is a great reminder that even if we haven't had one of those perfect, sunshine filled days in a while, we don't have to be miserable. Take what you have and make the best of it - of course, I'm only saying this as something I'm still practicing.
   But one thing that's been great to learn is that if you look hard enough, you can always find something good! Maybe this is on my mind so much because I just finished reading, "The Hiding Place", which was all about learning to "dance in the rain", and even more about being grateful for EVERYTHING that comes from Heavenly Father.

  Anyway, just remember that dancing (and singing... :) in the rain can be something you look back on and be glad you did!

p.s. That's not my picture - I borrowed it from another blog. :)
