Quote: Even in the darkness, every color can be found. And every day of rain brings water flowing to things growing in the ground.
               –Joss Whedon, Zack Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Jed Whedon, from Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, 2008

Thought for the Day: If you haven’t watched “Dr. Horrible,” check it out. It’s brilliantly satirical and thought provoking. It’s tongue in cheek, but manages to make some pretty profound points. Like the fact a rainstorm is often an inconvenience (especially when you’re trying to load the car with groceries), but without rain, nothing on the planet would live. Similarly, the rainstorms in our own lives are often exactly what we need to grow and flourish. We too need our souls watered by God’s love, and we too need to learn how to see light even in the darkest moments of our lives.

Prayer: God of all creation, help me see the rainbows in the rainstorm, and remember that through all things, light and dark, your blessings flow. Amen.
