Learning to swim through the rain

I recently read a book that had one section in it that really touched me and made a lot of sense that I wanted to share it. It said in life you have to learn to swim through the rain. The girl in the book commented that you can't swim going straight up you need to swim in a river or a lake. The aunt said, " life is more like rain because it will not lay down for you like a river or lake. I believe this is totally true. Life will not lay down for you, or wait for you. I wanted to post this because some of my family, friends, and co workers in my life are having trouble swimming through the rain at this moment. Life has dealt them not only rain, but a hailstorm. I won't put their business out on display, but I will ask that you pray for them. Maybe this will help them stay afloat during their difficult times.
