We receive many emails in our inbox and complain that there are too many emails for us to clear each day. Most of them are work related. Some are from friends. Friends who thinks of us and want to share some joy with us. Joy that will brighten our day. They will forward nice emails they receive from their friends. So, it’s a friend to another friend.

Some of them are really funny and some have really nice words of wisdom in it. Below is one of my favorite. Thanks to Roy for this nice word of wisdom.

The Rain-Thomas Kinkaid
 
Stop at the picture for a second, and watch the Rain… then read on…

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 daughter, Aspen, spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. “Dad, I’m thinking 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 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, 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.

 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 we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.  Hope the water flows when you get the picture
 
 This is a Thomas Kinkade painting. It’s rumored to carry a miracle!  The water is supposed to be running, so if it’s not moving then the picture didn’t come through entirely.  

They say if you pass this on, you will receive a miracle.   I am passing this on because I thought it was really pretty, and besides, who couldn’t use a miracle?!
