Sometimes people lament because clouds come over them. They would prefer their lives to be all sunshine. They forget that a place that doesn’t have clouds above is a desert beneath, with the burning heat of the sun and hot and unhealthy winds, without trees and desolate, and barren without grass or herbs at all; a place where the sky has no clouds.

Ta ny bodjalyn cur dooin fynneraght voish chiass loshtee yn ghrian. Ta ny bodjalyn cur dooin fliaghey dy ooraghey yn thalloo sponkit. Ta ny bodjalyn lhiggey sheese er ny croink as coanyn yn aasagh. Ta ny bodjalyn cur sheese orrin ass nyn dashtaghyn berçhys ny awinyn as yn faarkey, as deayrtey ad sheese orrin.

The clouds give us cooling from the burning heat of the sun. The clouds give us rain to freshen the dried up land. The clouds set down on the hills and the valleys of the desert. The clouds bring down upon us from their stores of wealth the rivers and the ocean, and pour them down on us.

Thanks be to God, for the clouds, but when you remember, that the Lord himself is a sun and also a shield, and that there are clouds and darkness around about him, and justice and judgment, covering his throne, and as his clouds cover the brightness of our lives, they bring new blessings, such as we would never get from a sky without clouds, where the sun shines, and everything progresses well, and this is why troubles happen to us in this world, when we grow fond of it, to draw our minds to things that are everlasting in Heaven.
