Happy May! April showers bring May flowers is a reminder that sometimes it takes unpleasant, uncomfortable, and unenjoyable moments to bring out the beauty and enjoyment that exists beyond. It reminds me of how important it is to have patience and be confident in knowing that great things come to those who wait – even when you’re in the midst of your storm and it may not feel like greatness is headed your way.
Think of the rain as something that cleans away all that took place in the winter. It is preparing you for a successful season of bloom. The rain is the obstacles you endured or the unfortunate and inconvenient mishaps that took place. The bloom is all that comes after – your success, your happiness, your joy, your peace.
I don’t know what season you’re in, but if you’re still in your April showers, know that your May flowers are on their way! While you wait, don’t be afraid to clap for others who may already be in their season of bloom!
