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

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. Have a great day and GOD bless
you!
