Grateful Hearts, Short Story
Shining Star - Earth, Wind, and Fire
The Star
Grateful Hearts
I looked up into the midnight sky,
and there I saw a falling-star,
and this falling-star
just kept falling!
This falling-star fell right out
of the midnight sky,
and directly into my hands!
Grateful Hearts
The Question
My friend, who was beside me,
asked me in a trembling voice,
"What are y-y-you going to do
w-w-with that s-s-star?"
Grateful Hearts
The Answer
I looked down at the breathing,
twinkling, star that I held
within my hands,
and after only a short moment
of very deep thought,
I carefully, and deliberately,
replied back to my friend,
"I am going to give this star away!
I will give it to someone
who has an important
and beautiful wish
that they need fulfilled."
Grateful Hearts
The Joy
And, I found this
Recommended
to be a very easy decision
for me because, you see,
I had all that I
had ever wished for already:
My family's health;
Shelter from the elements;
Daily food;
Clean water to drink;
Air to breathe;
Legs to walk; and,
Peace in my heart
from the Great Love
of our Heavenly Father!
Therefore, what more
could I possibly wish for?
Grateful Hearts
The Need
I ended up giving the star away
to my friend who was beside me,
because he had an important
and beautiful wish to be fulfilled!
He wanted his heart to be made
whole, again!
Grateful Hearts
The Living Star
You see, upon the sight
of my holding a breathing,
twinkling, living star
within my very hands,
(that fell from the midnight sky),
my dear friend had a massive heart-attack!
