I didn't come up with this story on my own, but I did spend some time looking for a nice, short story that is funny.
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and there was a little boy in view nearby, staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked. 'It sure is,' I relied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do?'
But I also found this really good, cute story that I just have to share. It's really good!
Windshield Wiper Lesson from a Child
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 not 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."
Cute story!
