My Granny sent this to me!!!

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted an old 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 boy rose and eventually explored his 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 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 obligato.

Together, the old master and the young novice transformed what could have been a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience.

The audience was so mesmerized that they couldn't recall what else the great master played. Only the classic, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."

Perhaps 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 always graceful flowing music. However, with the hand of the Master, our life's work can truly be beautiful.

The next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You may hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit." "Keep playing."

May you feel His arms around you and know that His hands are there, helping you turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces.

Remember, God doesn't seem to call the equipped, rather He equips the 'called.'

No reflection on this cute email . . . but did one ever wonder that God just might want us to grow up and stop asking him for stuff lol?

I wonder if he/she/it sits up there and sayd thank you for the prayers but why didn't you just take the time to do it yourself?

After all he equipped us to do so.

• MEMO FROM GOD
  
  To: YOU
  
  Date: TODAY
  
  From: THE BOSS
  
  Subject: YOURSELF
  
  Reference: LIFE
  
  I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems.
  
  Please remember that I do not need your help.
  
  If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle,do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.
  
  Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.
  
  If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people
  in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
  
  Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
  
  Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
  
  Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
  
  Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance;
  Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
  
  Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
  
  Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all
  about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
  
  Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness,
  ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse.
  You could be one of them!
  
  Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!
  
  GOD
