It takes a storm now and then

Tonight, I am reminded that sometimes you have to go through some of these . . .

To enjoy these. . .

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. . . 

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. . . 

Oh that men would praise The Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men.

Taken from Psalm 107
