tunes of your heart

Once there was this little boy who did not enjoy the piano very much. His mom made him go to those lessons with the old scary lady who taught him different notes to play each time they met. The little boy was about to give up, and his mom did not like that. So to spark his interest, she decided to take him to a piano concert of someone who was really good at piano, the Master.
They arrived at the Master's concert and he was running a little late. The little boy and his mom took their seats on the floor close to the stage. His mom saw a girl friend of hers and went to go talk to her, telling the little boy to be on his best behavior and she will be right back. However, the little boy was somewhat intrigued by the grand piano up on that stage more than what his mom said. He got up out of his seat, his eyes mesmerized on the black and white keys, walked up there, sat down and actually started to play Chop sticks on that grand piano. Oh it was not very pleasing to the ears so it got everyones attention. His mom knew that sound, turned around and saw her little boy up there. She began to run up there to get him off that piano. People from back stage started to rush out to get him off the stage. The little boy stopped and looked around- everything seemed to be in slow motion.
It was at that point when the Master waved everyone away, saying it was perfectly fine. He sat down next to the little boy and asked him to begin playing again. So the little boy, being obedient started playing again. However this time, the sound was pleasant to the ears.... the Master was playing a long with him. The Master started making beautiful music to go along with the little boys not so beautiful sound.

The Master made something beautiful out of a not so beautiful situation.


God will come up right beside you and turn your life into something beautiful....keep playing the tunes of your heart and He will accompany you.
