blessings in disguise

blessings in disguise probably sounded like a really lame post for a blog....like it has been used over and over again but I thought it best fit the point of the post. I received a little book from a younger friend that I have....one of my buddies. Sam is 8 years old and is all energy. He sat down and wrote a story for me the other day just because he could...Here is the story...

David's Electric Guitar
by Sam

One day, David was playing his guitar and then it exploded! David was hurt in the process. He lost all his toes. So he went to the Hospital. The Doctor was a hippie dude, and when David was wheeled in he said "Groovy Man!". The doctor/hippie tried to sew Davids toes back on but he failed. So when David wheeled himself out in his wheelchair, holding all of his toes....All of the sudden there was a fairy named Faith. She came down and blew on the toes that were in David's hand. The toes magically came down out of David's hand and attached themselves to David's feet. The fairy said"don't try to play your electric guitar with 5 amplifiers plugged into it please! And so, David never played 5 amplifiers in his guitar again.

The End

This might sound stupid but that story blessed me...immensely. Just the thought of a little kid taking the time to write out a story for a teenager that is 8 years older than him because he wants to give him something is just wonderful. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that we as teens should be investing in the younger generation. They are the people that our kids will look up to in respect. If they are going to end up being our child's role models and our children are going to be their little buddies, I think we need to spend more time with them. We need to make it a point o invest in them...not just focus on our own little age group...I hope I am making at least some sense. I'm sorry some of my thoughts are rather scatter-brained and sometimes incoherent. Anyway, in the midst of all my ramblings if you all could try to pick up something from it all. Thanks for reading! Comments make me happy!!
