I WANT TO BE A TV
A
teacher from Primary School asks her students to write an essay about what they
would like God to do for them.
One of the students writes:
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
