Stop at the picture for a second, and watch the Rain... then read on...

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'sreally 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.
