Morning All,
I found this other story in a book that I was reading. I simply had to share it with you guys.
Guide me in your truth and touch me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Psalm 25:5
There is an interesting story about the famous Polish pianist Paderewski. A mother had a small son who was learning to play the piano. Ini order to encourage him she took him to a concert by Paderewski. They arrived early at the concert hall and soon the mother was in conversation with one of her friends. Meanwhile, her son wandered off.
When it was eight o’clock, the spotlights came on and the stage curtain opened. And there was her son seated at the piano innocently playing, “Twinkle, twinkle, little star.” Then Paderewski came on stage and approached the piano. “Ah, let’s see what we can do together,” he announced. To the little boy he whispered, “Don’t stop. Just keep on playin.” Then he leaned over him and put his hands on the keyboard next to the boy’s hands. The child kept repeating and repeating the simple refarin, and beside him the pianist was weaving beautiful and intricate variations around it, with what must have been musical genius. The audience of course was delighted by the spontaneous concert, and the incident later became part of Paderewski lore.
As we play our small melody in our daily life, Christ whispers to us, “Don’t stop, keep on playing…” And he makes a masterpiece out of our simple music.
God Bless.
