<THE LEGEND OF THE RAINDROP>


Midi is playing the beautiful "SINGING IN THE RAIN"...


The Legend of the Raindrop



The legend of the raindrop
Has a lesson for us all



As it trembled in the heavens
Questioning whether it should fall.



For the glistening raindrop argued
To the genie of the sky,



"I am beautiful and lovely
As I sparkle here on high,



And hanging here I will become
Part of the rainbow's hue



And I'll shimmer like a diamond
For all the world to view."



But the genie told the raindrop,
"Do not hesitate to go,



For you will be more beautiful
If you fall to earth below.



For you will sink into the soil
And be lost awhile from sight,



But when you reappear on earth,
You'll be looked on with delight.



For you will be the raindrop
That quenched the thirsty ground



And helped the lovely flowers
To blossom all around.



And in your resurrection
You'll appear in queenly clothes



With the beauty of the lily
And the fragrance of the rose;



Then, when you wilt and wither,
You'll become part of the earth



And make the soil more fertile
And give new flowers birth."



For there is nothing ever lost
Or eternally neglected,



For everything God ever made
Is always resurrected.

~~Helen Steiner Rice






God is the sunshine that warms us, the rain
that melts the frost and waters young plants.
The presence of God is a climate of strong and
bracing love, always there.

~~Joan Arnold






Listen, O heavens, and I will speak;
Hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Let my teaching fall like rain and
words descend like dew,
like showers on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants.

Deuteronomy 32:1-2





The love of the Father is like a sudden rain shower
that will pour forth when you least expect it,
catching you up into wonder and praise.

~~Richard Foster






For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the
singing of birds is come.

Song of Solomon 2:11-12






If you want the rainbow,
You've gotta put up with the rain!

~~Dolly Parton








Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.

~~Shakespeare
