　　英语散文精选：雨中的记忆

　　She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautifulbrown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. Itwas pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushesover the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry tohit the Earth it has no time to flow down the spout.

　　We all stood there under the awning and justinside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others irritated because naturemessed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound andsight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running,splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of myday.

　　Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in. "Mom, let'srun through the rain," she said.

　　"What?" Mom asked.

　　"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.

　　"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.

　　This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through therain."

　　"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.

　　"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as shetugged at her Mom's arm."

　　This morning? When 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 Godcan get us through this, he can get us through anything!"

　　The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. Weall stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for amoment about what she would say.

　　Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore whatwas said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocenttrust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let'srun through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. Then off theyran.

　　We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, throughthe puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. Butthey were followed

　　by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. Iran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your materialpossessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no onecan ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take theopportunities to make memories every day!

　　To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I hope you stilltake the time to run through the rain.

　　英语散文精选：让我们微笑

　　The thing that goes the farthest toward making lifeworthwhile,

　　That costs the least and does the most, is just apleasant smile.

　　The smile that bubbles from the heart that lovesits fellow men,

　　Will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax thesun again.

　　It’s full of worth and goodness, too, with manlykindness blent;

　　It’s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost acent.

　　There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile;

　　It always has the same good look; it’s never out of style;

　　It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;

　　The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you.
