In the 70's, when I was plunking a lot of my dad's quarters into jukeboxes, country singer Lynn Anderson sang the song, "I Beg Your Pardon (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden.) " Wow, what a lot of wisdom...
...There's gotta be a little rain sometimes, along with the sunshine.
I feel like God reminds me of that fact of life when I read the Bible. Whoever thinks that life in Christ is walking amongst the clouds, singing hymns, playing harps...well, they just haven't gotten very deep into God's word.
In this world, there will be troubles...
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...
When you fall into various trials...
It's a promise, all right...the "RAIN", rather than the "rose garden."
