Nice Thoughts

 

 



 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."

 I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.

 Isn't it distressing to know that when you forward this message you
will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what
>they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.

Funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me  than
what God thinks of me. Are you thinking?
