~ PIANO LESSON ~


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.'



Life is more accurately measured by the
lives you touch than by the things you acquire.
So touch someone by passing this little message along.
