A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6-year-old. Her beautiful red hair caught my sight. ―What a lovely ange l!‖ I thought to myself. After paying for all I had chosen, I was going to leave. But I found it was pouring outside. Many people stood under the awning(凉棚)and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart.

We waited, some patiently, others irritated(急躁)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. Suddenly I heard a little sweet voice. It was her --- the red-haired girl. ―Mom, let’s run through the rain, she said.

“What? M om said.

“Let 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.

“No, we’ll get wet 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 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.

―Honey, you are right. Let’s run through the rain. If God let us get wet, well maybe we just need washing, Mom said. Then off they ran. We

all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted(疾走) past the cars and, yes, through the puddles(地上积水). They got wet. 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.
