the smell of rain and a very good thing which will happen at 11 in the morning
i got an e-mail today, the one that you should send to a number of people so a very good thing will happen at 11 o'clock in the morning (which morning is not clarified, though). i usually delete such e-mails coz i think it's kinda blackmailing and blackmailing is a crime. but it's different today coz the one sending it is a very good friend who happened to be working in the same computer room. i said: 'Oh, you send me an e-mail?' which is quite hillarious in itself coz we WERE, in fact, sitting next to each other. so i opened her e-mail dan this is the story that i got:
it's about a premature baby girl who was born three month before her due time. so she was totally tiny, weak, fragile and the doctor said there was almost no hope. the parents didn't give up, though. they kept praying and hoping and refused to let go. for the first two months she was too fragile to be touched but miraculously she grew stronger and bigger. after two months, she could be carried in her parents' arms for the first time and she kept growing up to become a pretty and healthy little girl.
when she was five years old, her mom took her to watch her brother play baseball in the field. it was about to rain and suddenly this girl said: 'Do you smell it?' Her mom said: 'Yes, it's the smell of rain.' But the girl repeated her question: 'No, do you smell it?' Her mom said: 'Yes, i think we all will get very wet. It smells like rain.' The girl said: 'No, it smells like Him. It smells like God when you lay your head on His chest.'
and this is the best part of the story: her mother then realized something she had actually known all along in her heart. it was that during the first two months, when the baby was still to sensitive to be held, it was God Himself who had held her on His chest and it was His loving scent that she remembered.
the story ends there. i was stunned. it was exactly another version of my angel sketch. only this is a much better one. and i wonder: have i been looking for the wrong angel all along? maybe it's not only an angel after all ...
