You know there is an old expression that I have heard, “In every life some rain must fall”. Without the rain and trials of life we would not be growing and learning so many different life lessons. I think that the lessons that I have personally learned thus far are the most important. Because, by ourselves it is easy to be me centered, me oriented, me focused on every aspect of life. Generally speaking through God’s Miracle of birth we all arrive on the scene by ourselves from the safety of our mothers wombs.
And then everything we learn, eating, crawling, standing, speaking etc are learned and used by us to be independent of everyone. Our parents are charged with the responsibility of protecting us, feeding, clothing and helping their children to see their God given gifts, assisting in their education, the most important of which is Faith in my opinion. And being a kind and compassionate member of society on many different levels and aspects.God did not design us to be self absorbed, he intends us to be a generous benefactor giving our time, service and gifts to others to bring The kingdom Of God to life on Earth.
Teach The Children wells Crosby Stills
And when we are ready and have learned our life lessons we are on our own, the masters of our own destinies.
But we need to strike a balance in this life.
What it comes down to is this, in my opinion.. While we are out persuing who we are to become what happened to me personally was my Faith was at odds with my drive to succeed at what God had show me as my lifes work. My work was also a ministry of sorts, I loved my clients /friends and my employees. I yearned for the simplicity of Being with God, With family, with friends and helping any one along my road that I could. I needed to learn that I had to watch to make sure that the worldly stuff did not invade every area of my life. God and service could not be put on hold. So, I was busy juggling work, family,faith friends and charitable endeavors. But I was young and why shouldn’t I or my wife sacrafice ? To whom much is given much is expected.
I am sitting here with a monsoon outside today 🙂 LOL It is still beautiful to look out and see God’s nature at work.
I thank God that when I was physically able back in the day that I did every single thing that I could do for another that needed it while I could. My wife and I never left one brother or Sister behind. Praise God that I/ we listened when I/ we were called. If I had not who knows if God would have heard me in my moment of need.
Remember The Lords Words… What You Do For Your Brother, You Have Done For Me. Amen!

My lifes ups and downs are mine just as yours are yours. It is when we are in our lowest possible points in life that we truely become the most generous, the most loving and the most compassionate. God stetches you to become more. We gain an understanding of something that we were blind to. It is like fasting and prayer through fasting, we receive additional graces that allow us to learn a different type of teaching through The Holy Spirit. Where we get what God is saying without the wondering. We own it.
I honesty hope to soon be out in front of the Blessed Sacrament at my church asking Jesus through prayer to answer my and your needs, to see my dad more, to visit the nursing home once again to say hello and let them know that they still count.
I just found where that old saying comes from….. Below.
The Rainy Day
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
