WET
PANTS
Come with me to a third
grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk
and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front
of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he
cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never
happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will
never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak
to him again as long as he lives.

The boy believes his heart
is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, 'Dear
God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm
dead meat.'
He looks up from his prayer
and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has
been discovered.
As the teacher is walking
toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that
is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and
inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's
lap.
The boy pretends to be
angry, but all the while is saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank
you, Lord!'
Now all of a sudden, instead
of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy.
The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on
while his pants dry out. All the other children are on their hands and
knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as
life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been
transferred to someone else - Susie.
She tries to help, but they
tell her to get out. You've done enough, you
klutz!'
Finally, at the end of the
day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and
whispers, 'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie whispers back,
'I wet my pants once too.'
May God help us see the
opportunities that are always around us to do
good..  |
