Showers of blessing!


It has inspired many a poets and writers to pen down their romanticism in a very candid manner. It has got this immense power to cheer up people just by its touch.

It emanates a beautiful fragrance whenever it touches the dust of earth…

Yes I am talking about rain. The divine elixir of life – “water” in one of its best forms.

When the monsoon disembarks in all its beauty, some souls become ecstatic while some start cribbing about the mess it creates.

The kid in us is provoked to forget all the miseries of the world and drench ourselves in the shower of God’s blessings.

The Cupid struck couple can be seen walking far away sharing sweet nothings.

Ever wondered where all this love and innocence is lost as years pass by. Recently I saw a movie in which a man says “Love is something meant for the youth, once you grow old there is nothing called as Love.” That pricked me so hard. How can anyone ever exist without Love? Beyond my understanding it is.

I’ve often seen my parents fighting over trivial matters, I used to shout at them but to no avail. It was like ringing a bell to make it more noisy when already the trumpet(Mom) and drum(Dad) where at their best. Now I realize it was nothing but thunders just like it is before rains. After a good spell of rain everything is green and beautiful again. All we need is hope and courage!!


I was taught this song by my Mom..

There shall be showers of Blessings

This is the Promise of Love

There shall be seasons refreshing

Sent from the Savior above….

Showers of Blessings…

Showers of blessing we need

Mercy drops round us are falling

But for the showers we plead.

Beautiful words na?

Whenever I sing it, it fills me with a hope for a better tomorrow. When I see a tiny drop sparkling on my cheek, I am assured that God is watching over me, taking care of me at every step I take and blessing with his showers of blessings.
