One Rainy Afternoon
I Was Driving Along One Of The Main Streets Of Town
I Was Taking Those Extra Necessary Precautions When The Roads Are Wet And Slick
Suddenly, My Daughter, Megan
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
She Was Now Ready To Expound All That Her Six Year Old Mind Had Discovered
I Was Eager To Hear What She Had To Say
"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, Megan"
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?"
Megan Didn't Hesitate One Moment With Her Answer
"We Keep On Sinning
And God Just Keeps On Forgiving Us"
