“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s sweet voice __40__ me.

“What?” Mom asked.

“Let’s run through the rain!”

“No, honey. We’ll wait until it __41__ down a bit,” Mom replied.

This young child waited about another minute and __42__: “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”

“We’ll get __43__ 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? __44__did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”

“ Don’t you __45__? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, ‘If God can get us through this, he can get us through__46__!’”

The entire crowd stopped dead __47__. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom __48__ and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being dishonest. But this was also a moment of affirmation in a young child’s life. “Honey, you are absolutely __49__. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, well maybe we __50__ needed washing,” Mom said. Then off they ran.

We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the car. But then they were __51__ by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the __52__to their cars including me. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your __53__. But no one can ever take away your precious __54__. So, don’t forget to make time and take the __55__to make memories every day!
