It's been awhile since the last time it rained in a small town. There was no gain from the crop farm and the local farmers made losses. Food shortage was haunting the town and the people got panic.
The pastor of the town gathered everyone in the church and they started praying to God for downpour. Among the crowd there is a little girl, she is so petite that hardly got people noticed her. Being unattended, she joined the crowd for prayers too.
Soon after, the pastor noted that the girl has brought something to the church. Excitedly, he pointed at the girl and said, "That little girl make me so touched!" Followed the direction of his finger, everyone turned around and looked at the little girl.
The pastor continued, "Today we are all here to pray for a downpour, but in the entire church, she is the only one who brought an umbrella!" Everyone looked at the girl closely. Yes, she had an red umbrella besides her seat indeed.
The people were quiet for a moment. Not long after the silence, everyone bursted in applause and tears for the little girl's sincerity. And of course, the rain finally fell over the town!
Sometimes, we have to say that kids are not "little", they are actually "big"! Their hearts of love and sincerity are "big" and mighty!
