A teacher from Primary School asks her students to
write an essay about what they would like God to do for them...
At the end of the day while marking the essays, she
read one that made her very emotional.
Her husband, that had just walked in saw her crying
and asked her:
- What happened?
She answered
- Read this. It's one of my student's
essays.
Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special:
Make me into a television.
I want to take its place. Live like the TV in my
house. Have my own special place, and have my family around ME . To be taken
seriously when I talk....
I want to be the centre of attention and be heard
without interruptions or questions. I want to receive the same special care that
the TV receives when
it is not working. Have the company of my dad when he
arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want me when
she is sad and upset,
instead of ignoring me... And... I want my brothers to
fight to be with me... I want to feel that family just leaves everything aside,
every now and then,
just to spend some time with me. And last but not least
make it that I can make them all happy and entertain them...
Lord I don't ask you for much... I just want to
live like every TV.
At that moment the husband said:
- 'My goodness, poor kid. What horrible
parents!
She looked up at him and said:
- 'That essay is our son's!!!
Makes you think doesn't it?????
The same can be said about the computer and the
telephone!!!
