DEAR HENRY,
< April showers bring May flower>
From the goloden-tipped fields of mid-west America to the ancient kind-oms of verdant Palestine,there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take heed.In more recent times,this truth has been expressed as:Ap-ril showers bring May flower.This is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness ,strength born from weakness and,if one dares to believe,l-ife emerging from death.
Farmers all over the world know the importance and immutability of the seasons.They knnow that there is a season to plant and a season to haver-st;everything must be done in its own time.Although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness,ceasing all outdoor activities,the man of the field lifts hisface to the heavens and smiles. Despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the nourishment his crops need to grow and flourish. The torrential rains in the month of April, give rise to the glorious flowers in the month of May.
But this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields ;it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life. A dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. A lost job here can provide the opportunity f-or a better job there. A broken dream can become the foundation ofa wo-nderful future. Everything has its place.
Remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night,but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning. When you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just a-round the cornor...
