The below was received in an email forward. As this is a Christian website, I felt it very fitting to put this here. I believe that basically, the final sentence says it all.
Sometimes, we may wonder why we fall on hard times and about the turbulence in our lives. When we have a special pet that we love and they pass from this life, it is very hard for us to accept not having them with us anymore. I choose to look at it as a passing and treasure the moments of the time shared and the future to our re-uniting... God Willing.
I hope this helps you in your hour of grief and eases your burden.
Always,
Marie
Suddenly, my daughter 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.
