She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She ought to have been 6 years old, this stunning brown haired, 1)freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The type of rain that 2)gushes over the top of rain gutters, so considerably in a hurry to hit the Earth it has no time to flow down the spout.
We all stood there under the three)awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, other people 4)irritated since nature messed up their hurried day. I am constantly 5)mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome 6)reprieve from the worries of my day.
Her voice was so sweet as it broke the 7)hypnotic 8)trance we had been all caught in. "Mom, let's run via the rain," she said.
"What?" Mom asked.
"Let's run via the rain!" She repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
This young child waited about one more minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run by way of the rain."
"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom stated.
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl stated 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 don't forget? If 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 may possibly even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocent trust may be nurtured to ensure that it's going to bloom into faith. "Honey, you might be totally appropriate. Let's run via the rain. If get wet, nicely maybe we just required washing," Mom said. Then off they ran.
We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by several who screamed and laughed like youngsters all of the approach to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I required washing. Circumstances or folks can take away your material possessions, they can take away your dollars, and they can take away your well being. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every single day!
To everything there's a season along with a time to each purpose under heaven. I hope you still take the time to run via the rain.
