Watch the rain

" E N J O Y "... I just think this is very nice....

Stop at the picture for a second, and watch the Rain... then read on...

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets

of town, taking those extra

precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.

Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen,

spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm

thinking of something."

This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some

fact for a while, and

was now ready to expound all that her six-year-old mind had

discovered. I was eager to hear.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield

wipers are like God wiping our sins away."

After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.

"That's really good, Aspen."

Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take

this revelation? So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain

keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"

Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer:

"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."

I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.

Isn't it distressing to know that when you forward this message

you will not send it to many

on your address list because you're not sure what they believe,

or what they will think of you for

sending it to them.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think

of us than what God thinks of us.

In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.
