It was pouring outside. We all stood there   26    , some patiently , others annoyed   27    nature messed up (弄糟) their hurried day . I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens  28     away the dirt and dust of the world.
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice    29   me.
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it   30    down a bit,” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and    31   : “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she  32     her Mom’s arm.
“This morning?   33    did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,” If God can get us through this, he can get us through   34   .”
The entire crowd turned   35   . Mom paused and thought for a moment about    36   she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being   37    . But then we heard, “Honey, you are   38   . Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then    39   they ran.
We all stood    40  , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were   41    by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the   42    to their cars. Circumstances (境况) or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your   43   . But no one can ever take away your precious   44   . So, don’t forget to make time and take the   45    to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.
