05/06/12 - Refuge in the Rain

I like to think that I'm one of those people that can tolerate a lot. So it was no surprise to many when I heard it would rain and didnt bring an umbrella. I was also really annoyed with the weather cos yesterday I wanted it to rain cos I was tired and wanted to sleep in sport.
Anyways I didn't have an umbrella which is normally fine but as I got off the train today it was actually pouring. So being the manly person I am, I wanted to brave the rain and not run. Trying to act normal I spent a few mins preparing myself before I headed off into the rain, debating whether to turn my iPod on.
Well anyways I decided it was time to brave the storm. (I also couldnt help to notice that it only stormed badly when I got off the train.) so I continued walking. It was then that a uni student came up to me and asked me which way I was going and then shared her umbrella with me. Although I still got quite wet and my whole shirt was drenched, I'm really thankful and so so so glad!!!!!!!!!! Actually it all reminds me of what I looked at in scripture today (Luke 12:22-34) and it has made me see how such a small thing can make people so thankful and happy. I'm actually wondering now whether to carry around an umbrella, ready to help others.
