Summer is the Season

JESUS IS THE REASON
LOVE IS in THE SEASON.

Piano Story

Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother took
her child to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother
spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her.

Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the
little child rose and eventually explored the way through a door marked "NO
ADMITTANCE." When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to
begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was
missing. Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on
theimpressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little child
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 child'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 obbligato.

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 our Heavenly Parent. 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 Artist, 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 Artist, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit, keep
playing." Feel God's loving arms around you. Know that God's strong hands
are there helping you turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces.

Remember, God doesn't call the equipped, God equips the called. And God
will always be there to love and guide you on to great things.
