The Rain

The Rain-Thomas Kinkaid There is a picture of rain falling....




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. Hope the water flows when you get the picture READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.Happy moments, praise God.Difficult moments, seek God.Quiet moments, worship God.Painful moments, trust God.Every moment, thank God.This is a Thomas Kinkade painting. It's rumored to carry a miracle! The water is supposed to be running, so if it's not moving then the picture didn't come through entirely. They say if you pass this on, you will receive a miracle. I am passing this on because I thought it was really pretty, and besides, who couldn't use a miracle?!
