I've been thinking about how when we rinse Sarah at the end of her bath with the detachable shower head she usually gasps, and squirms away not wanting water to go over her face...EVEN THOUGH...we have repeatedly coached her and say, "Look up!" as we shield her face so the water rinses the soap from her hair - not letting it go into her eyes... How often is "rain" invading my world (be it irritants of myself/my own sin, others' actions/words,the weather, my season in life, etc.) and I gasp and squirm away as if it is the worst thing, but if only I would calm down and look to my Lord - He would shield my eyes so that I only see HIM, all of it would glide right off me and go down the drain...

So true sista! PS I like your grammar posts too. I'm trying to get caught up on reading blogs, so I am not commenting on each one.

Would this be called a metaphor? I was going to say this is such a good metaphor.

Your lesson is so true, for all of us.
