Laugh in the rain. Smile in it too.
I laughed in the rain as it came pouring down tonight, waiting till my friends were in sight, needing to second prompting, to come and join me in the fervor and the downpour. We laughed and cried out in raucous laughter, that only joy and friendship can bring. To land in the puddles and splash yourself sopping wet up to your knees and then some. To smile and laugh for minutes. To rush inside and bring with you a life like no other. Bringing smiles to others faces, to not care what some may think. To simply enjoy, and smile, at the wonderful and beatuful things that life can bring.
Even if one only so simple, as rain.
Have you ever run through the rain with a smile?
Or laughed with a friend as it pours down on you?
To feel the brush of it on your skin as it splashes down.
The chill it brings you, the life that thrives through your veins.
The shout and call out with joy as you hold up your hands to catch it.
To strive with all your might to feel it.
To dance in it,
To play in it,
To strive in it,
To bless it.
To laugh till you're out of breath,
To smile till your face aches.
To shiver inside with the sheer excitement.
To smile and laugh with those who ran with you.
To squish your shoes as they bring the water in,
your jeans drenched up too the knee when you splashed.
To leave the umbrella behind and to simply smile in it.
To grin and smile, not losing a step.
To find a way and to find a path.
That only God could lead you on.
The undeniably, best and most perfect path of all.
The one He has laid out for you.
A path where there's rain,
but the rain only makes you smile.
You could be hurting, but the rain will still cleanse you.
You could be in pain, but the rain will calm you.
You could be alone, but the rain will lead someone too you.
To laugh in the rain,
to live and feel the rain.
Showering you with the grace only it can give.
Live in the rain my darlings...
... learn to live and love the things that only rain can bring.
Even if one only so simple, as rain.
Have you ever run through the rain with a smile?

| I got wet almost all the way up to my knees, and my shoes are soaked. It was a good run in the rain, one I'll gladly do again. :) |
