Good Story from Helen Traweek

Here is a really touching story sent to me by Helen Traweek, a true blue Christian woman from the Advent. - DOB

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streetsof 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'mthinking 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 windshieldwipers are like God wiping our sins away."After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond. "That's really 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.
