ENJOY THE RAIN
>
>She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart.
>She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced
>image of innocence.
>It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain
>gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down
>the spout.
>We all stood there under the awning and just inside the
>door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others
>irritated because nature messed up their hurried day.
>I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the
>sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and
>dust of the world. Memories were a welcome reprieve from
>the worries of my day.
>Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught
>in "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.
>What?" Mom asked. Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.
>No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
>This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's
run
>through the rain."
>We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said."No, we won't, Mom. That's not what
>you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's
>arm.
>"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get
>wet?
>"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you
>said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!"
>The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything
>but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few
>minutes.
>Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would
>say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some
might
>even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a
young
>child's life.
>A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into
>faith.
>Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's
>us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said.
>Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they
>darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles.
>They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got
>soaked.
>But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children
all
>the way to their cars.
>And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
>Circumstances or people can Take away your material possessions, they can
>take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can
>ever take away your precious memories...So, don't forget to make time and
>take the opportunities to make memories everyday.
>To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.
>A friend sent this to me to remind me of life. Hope you enjoy it.
>
>I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN
