She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal*Mart.
She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown
haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was
pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the
tops of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth
it has no time to flow out 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 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 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
every day!
