The BabyGirl always used to get saddened by a coming rainstorm and frightened when she knew it would include thunder.
But it was the day her Daddy told her that a forthcoming storm would yield rewards when it left that she saw the dark clouds forming above as a good thing.
“Princess, rain replenishes the land with water. Thunder breaks the skies free of electricity. But it all seems like bad things are on the way,” her Daddy once said. “But just before the storm starts, the blowing winds carry the birds to safety, the leaves turn upside down to catch the raindrops and the world prepares itself for the benefits of the struggles ahead.”
“But none of that makes it any less scary to deal with, Daddy,” the BabyGirl replied.
“That’s because sometimes we spend too much time thinking about the bad things of the moment as opposed to the rewards which will follow,” her Daddy said. “Much like in life, our trials are always short-lived, but the results of our tribulations will last us a lifetime. So the next time you see those dark clouds forming, think of what will remain once they are gone. And soon you’ll be able to see the rainbow before the rainstorm.”
