Talent Show
23 April 2009
Recently I was a guest judge at a local talent show. Because of my honored status, I was treated very well. I had a very comfortable chair, a cold beverage of my choice, and my own bottle of mosquito repellent. I felt honored to be judging this year’s event, but I felt I was chosen only because of my connection to the venue – my backyard! The participants (the only participants)were none other than my children Madison (11), Brandon (8), and Brady (4). My children frequently showcase their talent in these backyard talent shows.
They spent a majority of the morning and afternoon preparing costumes, setting up the lawnchair audience seating, and constructing the scrap/leftover 2×4 stage. Then it was showtime. An audience of teddy bears and stuffed animals filled the available seats. And the guest judge, with a fresh coat of mosquito repellent, was in his place of honor.
Brady, wearing last Halloween’s ninja costume, showed off his Kung-Fu moves. Madison, in full Cinderella attire, sang a song as Brandon provided the sound effects. At the end of the show, thunderous applause could be heard from the audience. I gave all the participants a “10″ for showmanship and heart. They were all smiles. They had given their very best and I was pleased.
Not good enough for Broadway, but good enough to please a loving father.
Decide to give GOD your best offering. Do something for Him. Fast on His behalf. Dedicate some time and talents to pleasing Him. It may not be the best in the universe, but you’ll hear thunderous applause from heaven as GOD sits back and enjoys the performance…
… not good enough for Broadway, but enough to please a loving FATHER.
