| -God Equips the Called (A grand old story worthy of a repeat)
When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother
returned to her seat and discovered that her son was missing. Suddenly, the
curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage.
In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently
picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to
the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit." "Keep playing."
Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began
filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side
of the child and he added a running obligatio. Together, the old master and
the young novice transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully
creative experience. The audience was mesmerized.
That's the way it is with God. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly
noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing
music. But with the hand of the Master, our life's work truly can be
beautiful.
Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can
hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit." Keep
playing." Feel His loving arms around you. Know that His strong hands are
playing the concerto of your life.
Remember, God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called. Your worst
days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your
best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.
...keep playing your piano, what ever that may be. |

| The following photo has 2 identical dolphins in it.
It was used in a case study on stress level at St. Mary's Hospital.
Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water.
The dolphins are identical.
A closely monitored, scientific study of a group revealed that
in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical,
a person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins.
If there are many differences found between both dolphins,
it means that the person is experiencing a great amount of stress.
Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences
you may want to take a vacation.
