She had been shopping with her Mom in must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brownhaired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It waspouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes overthe top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit theEarth it has no time to flow down the spout.

We all stood there under the awning and just insidethe door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently,others 4)irritated because nature messed up theirhurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I getlost in the sound and sight of the heavens washingaway the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a childcome 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 runthrough 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 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 canget 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 allstood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for amoment about what she would say.

Time when innocent trustcan be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's runthrough the rain. If 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. They held theirshopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a fewwho screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet.I needed washing.
