THOMAS Just a Sample... QUALITY HANDCRAFTED PRODUCTS & UNIQUE FINDS! What ’s ’ s New! w The IN-BOX Send the good stuff to info@daytripping.ca E-Mail She had been shopping with her Mom at the mall. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just outside the door of the mall. We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in. “Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said. “What?” Mom asked. “Let’s run through the rain!” She repeated “No, honey. We’ll wait until it slows down a bit,” Mom replied. This young child waited about another minute and repeated: “Mom let’s run through the rain.” “We’ll get soaked 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? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?” Run Through the Rain “Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, ‘If we can get through this, we can get through anything!” The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn’t hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child’s life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. “Honey, you are absolutely right. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, well maybe we just needed washing,” Mom said. Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your spirit. So, don’t forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday - run through the rain! tropicals | bedding plants | pottery | soil | home decor | garden elements | seed starting Experience Everythingv Rhubarbu Pies & Sauces Full Schedule, Details & Updates on Facebook or rosyrhubarbfestival.com The Rhubarb Capital of Ontario Open instore Monday to Saturday, all year round shop.familyflowers.ca 44329 Talbot Line, ST.
