WINDSHIELD WIPER LESSON FROM A CHILD
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 son Matthew spoke up from his relaxed position in the front
seat.
"Mom, I'm thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant he had been pondering some fact for a
while and was now ready to expound all that his seven-year-old mind had
discovered.
I was eager to hear. "What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain," he 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, Matthew."
Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little boy take this
revelation? So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming?
What does that tell you?"
Matthew didn't hesitate one moment with his answer:
"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
Who can drive in the rain again without thinking of this one???
