雨中奔跑：孩子需要肯定 2大綱
( To continue)
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just needed washing." Mom said. Then off they ran.
We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I hope you still take the time to run through the rain. ( finished)
（續）人羣一片寂靜。我發誓，除了雨聲，你什麼都聽不到。我們都靜靜地站着。接下來的幾分鐘沒有一個人走動。母親停了一下，在想着應該說些什麼。
有人也許會對此一笑了之，或者責備這孩子的不懂事，有人甚至不把她的話放在心上。但這卻是一個小孩子一生中需要被肯定的時候。若受到鼓舞，此時孩子單純的信任就會發展成爲堅定的信念。“親愛的，你說得對，我們跑過去吧。如果淋溼了，那也許是因爲我們的確需要衝洗一下了。”母親說。然後她們就衝出去了。
我們站在那裏，笑着看她們飛快地跑過停着的汽車。他們把購物袋高舉過頭想擋擋雨，但還是溼透了。好幾個人像孩子般尖叫着，大笑着，也跟着衝了出去，奔向自己的車子。當然，我也這樣做了，跑了出去，淋溼了。我也需要接受洗禮。環境或其他人可以奪去你的物質財富，搶走你的金錢，帶走你的健康，但沒有人可以帶走你珍貴的回憶。因此，記得要抓緊時間，抓住機會每天都給自己留下一些回憶吧！
世間萬物皆有自己的季節，做任何事情也有一個恰當的時機。希望你有機會在雨中狂奔一回。（完）
