It was pouring outside.We all stood there under the awning(雨篷) and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart,　 36　 ,some　 37　 ,others annoyed　 38　 nature messed up their hurried day.I got lost in the sound and sight of the rain　 39　 the dirt and dust of the world.

“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 crowed 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 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!
