Subject: FW: Inspiration

Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother took
the
small boy 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 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 her son was missing.

Suddenly, the curtains parted and the spotlights focused on the impressive
Steinway on stage.

In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the piano,
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 hand reached around the other side
of
the child and he added a running obligato.

Together, the old master and the young novice transferred 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. With the hand of God, our life's work truly can be beautiful.

So the next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen
carefully and you can hear the voice of God 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.
