The Rain

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.

In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.

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.
