Children
Although this is a very, very good poem especially for being her first entry and being written by an eleven-year old but it doesn't have a chance, I thought to myself.
I had skimmed through some of the others and they are of secular subjects. There's not much excitement in the field of Christianity when most people want to read about the things of this world. Oh well, I thought, she wants to enter it, I'll do just that. Maybe she'll forget in a few days.
This morning, about two weeks later, I asked her to get the mail as I always did. Probably just bills, I spoke to myself. Why can't I ever get anything but bills?
"Mommy, I'm going to be a published poet!" she yelled from downstairs.
I read the letter, made the call, and asked my questions. Sure enough, they had selected her poem to be in the next hardcover book of children's poetry. Wow, amazing! They picked a poem with a Christian theme. I still couldn't believe it. This is good. This is very good!
"Oh, Mommy, you didn't believe, did you?" She asked. How did she know? I said to myself. "You have to always believe, Mommy. That's what I did and look at me now!" And off she skipped to tell her friends.
Oh, ye of little faith. Oh, ME of little faith.
