“He said, “If you listen carefully to the
Lord your God and do what is right in
his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I
will not bring on you any of the diseases
I brought on the Egyptians, for I am
the Lord, who heals you.”
Exodus 15:26

The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.
Psalm 118:24


The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another.
The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.
Henry van Dyke


In 1557 a gentleman by the name of Thomas Tusser compiled a collection of writings he called A Hundred Good Points of Husbandry. In the April Husbandry section he wrote:

Sweet April showers


Do spring May flowers

As you can see, the rhyme was originally a short poem. There is meaning behind the words, as well. “April showers bring May flowers” is a reminder that even the most unpleasant of things, in this case the heavy rains of April, can bring about very enjoyable things indeed – in this case, an abundance of flowers in May. “April showers bring May flowers” is a lesson in patience, and one that remains valid to this day.

In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
