it was early before school started and i saw lots of students walking reluctantly on their way to their first class...most kids had scowls on their face and i can't say that i can blame them...but then i noticed him...it was a young boy....probably 3rd or 4th grade and he had kinda a smirk on his face...the kind when a funny joke just went through your mind and it made you real happy...the coolest part about this kid was he was wearing his backpack on his head...instead of wearing the straps on his shoulders he had one of the straps around his forehead letting the rest of the pack hang down behind his head....
i wanted to stop my bike and walk the rest of the way with him to school...i am sure that his mom or dad had told him not to wear his pack like that and as soon as he was out of eyesight he went back to the way he had it...this undoubtedly brought a smirk to his face...i would have liked to know his story....
ps...i was that kid...

It is amazing the memories that surface when we see something in common. I was sitting with the choir this morning and we were singing one of the first songs we sang together almost two years ago. They have come so far and sound even better that I could have imagined, only God could do that. Much like the kid you are thinking of, it truly is a great feeling to see progress in your own life and it is great to feel the Holy Spirit motivate us to want to pour out our lives to help someone else on their journey. Great thoughts and thanks for sharing.
