Let It Rain

By Patricia A. Saunders

The third book of poetry will have fans laughing, crying and shaking their heads in agreement. The storms might bring you Through the Fire to appreciate Loving Me but when it rains it pours. You cant look at just the bad but look at it as a cleansing preparing you for the next chapter. When prayers go up blessings come down. I say Let It Rain!

About the Author

Introduction

I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. And I will cause showers to come down in their season; they will be showers of blessing. 27Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure on their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them." (YouVersion, 2014)

When it rains it pours and some feel they can’t get a break because there is always something happening, a circumstance that is overwhelming to the point they want to throw in the towel. Change the perspective and
