DONT QUIT,KEEP PLAYING
I read a story the other day about a mum who wanted to encourage her little boy to keep practising the piano, so she took him to hear Padarewski play. They sat near the front, and the boy was fascinated by the big grand piano on the stage.
While his mother was talking to a friend, she didnt notice her son slip away.As the house lights dimmed, and the spotlight hit the piano, she gasped as she saw her son on the piano bench, playing "Twinkle, Twinkle little star." Before she could get to him, Paderewski walked over to the keyboard and sat down beside the boy. "Dont quit,keep playing,"he whispered.
Then he reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass part, and with his right arm he reached around the other side encircling the child and added a running obligato.
Together the old master and the child brought the crowd to its feet.
Folks, no matter how ill-equipped you may feel today, theres a word for you: "Dont quit, keep playing!". No matter what you're doing today:raising those children, running that business,pastoring that church, studying for that degree, or just trying to be a better person, whatever it is you're doing, dont quit, keep playing, and God will add whatever is needed to turn your efforts into a masterpiece!
"HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU AND HIS STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN YOUR WEAKNESS"-2cor12:9
