without clouds there can be no appreciation of the sunshine
*
without rain there can be no rainbow
*
without rain there can be no vegetation
*
without the stress of the storm we cannot realize the worth of the anchor
*
without darkness there can be no rest
*
without darkness we cannot see the stars
*

without night there can be no sunrise

*

without threshing we cannot use the wheat

*

without injury and irritation the oyster will not produce a pearl

without trials we cannot be like Jesus
