It was pouring outside. We all stood there
26 , some patiently , others annoyed
27 nature messed up (弄糟) their hurried day . I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens
28 away the dirt and dust of the world.
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice
29 me.
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it
30 down a bit,” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and
31 : “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“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
32 her Mom’s arm.
“This morning?
33 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
34 .”
The entire crowd turned
35 . Mom paused and thought for a moment about
36 she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being
37 . But then we heard, “Honey, you are
38 . Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then
39 they ran.
We all stood
40 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were
41 by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the
42 to their cars. Circumstances (境况) or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your
43 . But no one can ever take away your precious
44 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the
45 to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.
