There once was a little boy who didn't like to spell. Anything that involved non-graph paper and pencil made him squirm...
except for drawing that is. He much preferred art supplies, outdoor activities, or reading. But writing was just not his "thing"...yet.
It turns out this boy was an artist, the type that expresses differently than average folk, and his artistry was anything but...average. In fact, the little boy had a gift, a gift of creativity bestowed upon him from heaven.
Surely, God's intentions were to use the boy's art to tell His type of stories.
And so it goes, the boy was given another gift from home...the gift of TIME, he was given. Time produces wonderful, surprising things like maturity, development, and seasoning. The boy was also given books, good books of the most inspiring kind. He'd read his Bible and his novels. He'd also play his piano hours on end, creating, composing. For, he was allowed to BE.
The boy loved to create and one day he discovered something new. He had, over time, realized he'd learned to spell.
So he spelled and spelled and spelled some more until he had written a chapter. One chapter gushed into two and before he knew what he'd done, the boy had written a book. It wasn't just any book. It was a book that glorified the Lord, a masterfully written allegory in similar fashion to the ones he'd been reading, the one's he'd been inspired by. It was beautiful.
One book turned into two. And just like that, we see that this boy who didn't like to spell now suddenly did. TIME had been a friend and the Creator the boy had grown to know was Director of the storyline...the one that He writes so well when we offer ourselves to Him. So the boy wrote and played and wrote some more and who knows how the rest of the story goes. But, right here in the middle it resembles natural overflow of the most creative kind and it's a blessing that warms the boy's mother's heart.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights
with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."
