Rain Puddles

We experienced a heavy rain storm the other day. One of those types of storms that drench the ground quickly and make large water puddles. The scent in the air was so beautiful and clean that I found myself taking several deep breathes just to inhale the sweetness.

I had just arrived at the grocery store and the rain started again so I was using an umbrella. A young woman stepped out of her car which was next to mine and prepared for the wet walk to the entrance of the store.

I invited her to share the umbrella with me and we began to walk while trying to avoid the deepest puddles. Even on the outskirts of those puddles our feet were soaked. Luckily I was wearing flip flops because the water came to my ankles.

We laughed as we walked and we both commented on how it made us feel like kids again playing in the rain. In truth it was a Divine Encounter that God had orchestrated. Many other people were walking at the same time and we would look at each other and smile.

He gave us an opportunity to get out of the norm and remember that we can have fun in the rain and get our feet wet in the puddles. It made for a fun shopping experience and memorable afternoon.
