Question

【題目】 She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, beautiful and innocent*. Outside, it was pouring so heavily.

We all stood there just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others annoyed because nature messed up their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world.

Her voice was so sweet that it woke me up.

“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.

“No, honey. We’ll wait until it slows down a bit,” Mom replied.

Waiting about another minute, the young child 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, pulling 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!”

All the people stopped dead silent. You couldn’t hear anything but the rain. 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 or tell her not to be silly. Some might even pay attention to what was said. But this was a moment in a young child’s lifetime that some innocent trust may bloom into faith. “ Honey, you are right. Let’s run through the rain. If get wet, well, maybe we just need washing, ” Mom said. Then off they ran.

We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and 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.

You may lose what you have, your money and even your health, but no one can ever take away your valuable memories. So don’t forget to make time and take the chance to make memories.
