"When it rains it pours"

On a more positive light, "when it rains it pours", could also mean, when God gives his blessing, he pours it like rain...that takes you by storm! Lately, though, I have been facing a lot of "things" in my life. In my personal life, and also in my CAREER, but all those hurts that are directed towards me? I just learned to laugh them off. If life is giving you lemons? Make lemon juice, right? It's all a matter of attitude. Life will always be unfair, I think, but it is how you deal with its many quirks and ironies that will really tell the kind of person that you are. Kiss-kiss!

Yes, you are right. But sometimes it is hard to be strong. After all we are only human. Though I do believe everything has a reason, I don't always understand it. On the other hand if everything was so easy would we still be able to be greatful. If everything was so easy, would we be able to understand those who have it difficult? If we never had problems, we would never understand others. We would never learn how to forgive. We would never really learn how to love.

Yes, I totally agree that because I have experienced it myself. I have been in that situation that I can't control all the problems anymore. But don't lose hope, after you have survived each trial blessings come and the good news is, it also pours. That why they say this, problems comes in bundles but blessings come also in bundles. Cheer up, It's not the end of the world. Hope comes in the morning!

Strongly agreeing with the conviction ..Misfortunes never come singly ,they come in batallions.

Hello,jpso138,i do agree with you."When it rains it pours",it just like a chinese proverb"blessing is incomparable to,misfortunes never come singly."Trouble comes just like a river runs,one wave surfing after another,event is always overtaken by another event. But we become braver and braver little by little when we overcome difficulty one by one.then we will be strong.No water is enough when you've the sea crossed.Though difficulties never end we just remember one sentence:"born not to be defeated,one can be destroyed,but can not be beat." Happy mylotting.

when it rains it pours, i really strongly believe on this sir. As i noticed that every time one problem pop out, many problems will follow, i often meet this kind of situation that i am not yet done solving my one problem here comes the other that makes my life become complicated most of the time....just like right now, i can say rain is really pouring on me...Most of the people around me says i will just pray.... Could be prayers enough to solve all this rain in my life?

that line can either be positive or negative. from the negative context, you are right jpso, we don't have to give up that easily, rather give it always our best shot. we do experience that the world may be treating us badly when problems happen, but the important thing is to learn from these problems and trials. the wisdom that we learn from the things that we go through will always help us not to just cope nor survive, but to move on and be stronger. we should always learn from mistakes or errors, problems or trials to become better persons always.

well, we just have to always bring an umbrella to avoid us from getting wet.

Yes, i strongly agree w/ this. We cant really avoid problems, its already a part of our lives. We cant be what we are right now if we didn't experienced hardships and problems in life. One cant say he/she is successful w/ out surpassing trials in life. We must just have a good trust in ourselves and believe that no problems cant be solve, as what the saying goes, "their is always a light at the end of a tunnel". And of course w/ a strong faith in God we can always have the strength to face any problems in life and solve it.

hey sir jo, ever heard of the saying, bad luck comes in three? heres my take on this: A lot of times we go through the motion of living like an automated robot. But at times, there are moments when just feel like shouting son of a b*tch. For example,yesterday: I woke up late so I reported 30 minutes late to work. Unfortunately, my supervisor saw me and burned my ears for 10 minutes. I went back to my station, and got pretty nasty looks from my my workmate for being late. I received my endorsement, and went to suction my patient who threw up on my new uniform and shoes. I need to shower, but I forgot to put extra clothes on my locker. So I have to borrow things from my workmate who still is giving me a nasty eye. A little later, I was called by higher up for the reports she asked me to do, which unfortunately I forgot to bring since I was in a hurry because I am late... I got the dressing down again for being irresponsible. 15 minutes before I was off, there was a code on the floor so I had to extend for 2 hours while my higher up is paging me every 15 minutes demanding for the folder. Thats just the first 8 hours of my day. LOL. its not a drizzle.. its a downpour!

that thing literally comes when you're really dried up from something, it may be a pour of blessing or problems instead but, no matter what it may be, we should be thankful since it indicates that a Heavenly providence is guiding us and letting us experience things we need to further be called as a grown up individual; we should worry if nothing comes with us coz it maybe a sign that our presence is not visible for HIM

"God places heaviest burdens on those who can carry its weight" a memorable quote I've read in a magazine. Problems are constant is everyone's life, and as for me it has been a rough road to were I am now. In fact I've been experiencing some mild depressions lately, but that does not bother me since its shows that we are just humans. What matters the most is you keep on going and never letting go. Remember how you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. so think positively!

this line actually hits me!!....and i actually added on that "when it rains it pours and it FLOODS!"...For almost a year my life has been in the deepest ground ( that's what i feel)...i felt like losing things that I have in my life...I tried to get my self into something but i always fail..ALWAYS!!...but despite of these..still I put MY TRUST to God...i shoould stand still, be strong and never allow that RAIN and FLOOD defeat me...I know in this life....we need to take a lot of courage and trust to God to go on..to live a life and to have FUN :-)

problem is part of our life, that was called the spicies in our life. For me problem was design to make our life colorful. It's up to us how to deal with that when we face that problem. And remember all things work together for good and "all things" there means the good and bad. And there is always a rainbow after the rain. ^_^

I don't know why it is true but it is. Problems seem to come in bunches. I try to look on them as life challenges and as a learning experience. What is a problem today doesn't really seem that big when you look back at it in time. Somehow. Some way. We do always get through them, don't we? Usually we emerge, stronger than before.

I see this quotation in a positive light.I see the rain as blessings.when you are blesses,it pours.I don't see rain as anything negative.for someone who loves water like me,I see it as a positive thing.

Hiya jpsol, When it rains it pours. First you can get one problem crop up it might be a big problem or small. But whichever way it is it seems to niggle you and bother you. So then comes another one almost at the same time and then just when you thought it was ll over another one crops up too. It never rains but it pours I really do know the meaning of that one. But hey I am not complaining it seems problems comes in sets of three sometimes. Hence the saying it never rains but it pours (pours problems on to you).

Nobody said life is fair... But like the promise to a better life in the END. I believe is not only pouring, but definitely overflowing... Life is full of crap, but like what you said, its still our choice... thanks for this post sir Jonathan give us time to reflect... happy mylotting!
