“Super Heros”
God Bless you Dear Friend,
“Super Heros”
Do you recall when you played either outside or inside and you were one of the super heros when you were a kid? Boys? Perhaps you had a towel around your neck which was actually your superhero cape? I know I had it and did it, many times….you?
I have read just the other day this little story…
Each morning three-year-old Ray would ask his mother to pin a bath towel to the back shoulders of his size 2 T-shirt. Immediately in his young imaginative mind the towel became a brilliant magic blue and red cape. And he became Superman.
Outfitted each day in his "cape," Ray's days were packed with adventure and daring escapades. In his mind, he not only played Superman, he WAS Superman. This fact was clearly pointed out when his mother enrolled him in kindergarten class. During the course of the interview, the teacher asked Ray his name.
"Superman," he answered politely and without pause.
The teacher smiled, cast an appreciative glance at his mother, and asked again, "Your real name, please."
Again, Ray answered, "Superman."
Realizing the situation demanded more authority, or maybe to hide her amusement, the teacher closed her eyes for a moment, and then in a voice quite stern, said, "I will have to have your real name for the records."
Sensing he'd have to play straight with the teacher, Ray slid his eyes around the room, hunched closer to her, and patting a corner of the frayed towel at his shoulder, answered in a voice hushed with conspiracy, "Clark Kent." (By Pastor Dick Innes)
And as Ray in the story, we all tried to be a super hero or superman before. But being a grown up (I hope) we also realize that we don’t need any other super hero in our lives.
We need just The One.
Yes, the One and Only.
And He is a True Hero!
Called, Jesus!
God Bless,
George.

I truly enjoyed this 'little story'. When my first born son was around 3-4 yrs of age. He was in his own mind "Hopalong Cassidy"...known in that generation as "Hoppie". He would not respond to any name other than "Hoppie". He had his cowboy outfit, toy guns and all. This story brought back some dear memories. Thank you for sharing.
