Story 2 : A Heart of Innocence
Rain had not fallen upon the small town for a long while. The drought caused a huge loss of income to the farming community.
The local pastor decided to gather the townsfolk in the church to pray for rain.
Droves of people arrived at the church and amongst them was a little girl.
The girl was diminutive in stature and was nearly obscured from the other grown-ups.
Despite all that, she too came with a ready heart to pray for rain.
At that instant, quivering with much emotion, he pointed in her direction and cried out, “That little girl has really moved me!”
Everyone’s head turned.
The pastor went on, “Today we’re gathered here to entreat the Lord for rain. Yet amongst the entire congregation, only this little girl had the faith to bring an umbrella.”
Everyone turned their heads again to look closely and sure enough, there it was in her hands, a red, foldable umbrella.
The hall was filled with a deafening silence.
The loud stillness eventually gave way to a crescendo of applause and incessant tears of joy.
Such was the picture of bliss.
Many a time, we can’t help but say that little children are not in the least little. In fact, they are big.
They are big in Love.
They are big in Faith.
