"The sending of rain is an event greater than the giving of the Torah. The Torah was a joy for Israel only, but rain gives joy to the entire world, including animals and birds." Midrash Psalms 117 (second century)
The other night I sat on my front porch and listened to the rain. Occasionally the wind would blow, and the rain would hit me. It was pretty cold, and I would flinch a bit. But all in all, it was wonderful. Sometimes we gripe about the rain, but just consider what a miracle it truly is.
