I’ve heard this from more than one person in literally every place I’ve ever lived. Regardless of whether it was in the South, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, or West. And I’ve heard it from more than one person in literally every place I’ve ever visited. “If you don’t like the weather, wait a little while, and it’ll change.” Or something to that effect.
Like the weather doesn’t change in other places.
But it does. Well, to be fair, I’ve never lived in or visited remote equatorial jungles. And my guess is it’s always hot and muggy. But even there, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some jungle dweller, in his native tongue say, “If you don’t like the weather, just wait. It’ll change. Eventually.”
I’ve never been one to get all hot and bothered about whether or not the weather would change or not. Except maybe when I’ve been hot and bothered for 2 weeks straight in July or August. No, I figure my days are far more complex than sunny or rainy issues. And I’m grateful to God for that. Because I know, each day, He loves me despite what the thermometer or barometer say.
And on that note, a few years ago, I shared a rhyme about it for an audience of kids. It was a Tuesday, like today, so I wrote…
Tuesday Weather
We’re gonna have Tuesday weather
Whether you like it or not
Because today is Tuesday,
And we’ve got the weather we’ve got.
We’re gonna have Tuesday weather
From the morning till midnight
Because Tuesday is all day…
Between Monday and Wednesday, right?
We’re gonna have Tuesday weather
So go out and soak some in,
Maybe I’ll see you out there.
I’ll be the one with the big grin.
