Okay this story just came into my mind yesterday when I was on bed, and I thought I'd like to share it with you all(:
It may sound abit childish and impractical, but I think the message it holds really struck me.
(start)
Father: Daughter, don't you think this house is rather quiet?
Daughter: Quiet?? Dad, are you joking? I've got millions and millions of brothers and sisters here in this house!
Father: But don't you think it would be much livelier if ALL your siblings were here? Where are the others?
Daughter: Oh yeah...It would...I miss my siblings...They have been gone from home for a very long time.
Father: Go and find them, and bring them home. There'll be a large feast prepared specially for each of your lost siblings every time one of them comes home.
Daughter: But Dad, I don't know where they are, and what if they refuse to come home? And, they might not know who you are.
Father: Well then tell them.
Daughter: But I don't know what to tell them. I don't want to go alone. What if I'm tired of walking?
Father: Who says you are going alone? I'm with you. I'll wear an invisible cloak over myself. When you are tired, call me and I'll carry you. (Takes out a book) Here, take this book along, it'll come in very handy.
Daughter: But Dad, why me? I'm so young, and I'm not the smartest, cleverest, strongest or anything among your children. And what if I meet bad guys?
Father: Daughter, you have been chosen for a reason. Don't worry about bad guys, remember I'm with you and I'm just a call away.
Daughter: Okay, I'll go. I want ALL my lost siblings back home.
(End)
Haha doesn't this sound very familiar to us some point in time?
Christmas is coming so let's bring our siblings back home, to where they belong(:
Right now, let's prepare for camp haha ;D
