I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

The sun shines different ways in summer and winter. We shine different ways in the seasons of our lives.
Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.

The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day.
