These “April Showers” have been a welcomed sight for vegetable/flower gardens and our Earth’s water supply. Rain also regulates our weather temperatures and many say that the sound of rain rocks them to sleep. One thing is for sure, we can not live without the rain. For these reasons and more I have learned how to be grateful to God for the rain and happily use an umbrella, when I have to be out in it.
