clap and cheer

FRAGILE MOMENTS

Whenever I'm disappointed with my lot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in the play at his schoool. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.

On the day that the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.

"Guess what Mom!", he shouted. Amnd then he said those words that remained a lesson to me. "I've been chosen to clap and cheer!"
