Rain rain go away

Oh dear! When its too hot, we moan. When its too cold, we moan. When its to windy, we moan. When there is drought, we cry out for rain but then when there is too much rain, we ask for it to go away. All we do is complain. Okay but in our defence I have to admit, mankind was made for the tropics, all these vicious changes in weather are just plain difficult to cope with and with good reason.

What can we do in converse to complaining? Develop an attitude of gratitude but also where possible learn from the seasons, what they teach us and try to find a way to make the most out of the differing conditions we face. Some things are out of our control to plan for but it would be really great if governments would build smaller overflow damns to capture excess rains to store for dry seasons.

We may not be able to control the weather and the results thereof but we can learn to implement the same principles to our finances and spiritual lives. It is best to save when times are good so that you will have abundance through the tougher times. It is equally good to build a spiritual stockpile to sustain us when times are tough. How do we do that though?

When things are good, find ways to record scriptures, life lessons and messages that we get from God like a squirrel gathering nuts. Keep your favourite books in a place where they are easy to find so that when you need inspiration you have quick access to draw from them again in the future.

If we have a storehouse of spiritual treasure they will form the backbone of our lives in the difficult times. Tails up! Time to go hunt for some nuts.
