I Met a Boy

He looked like an average boy of 12. But as I began talking to him, I felt there was something different about him. He was telling me about his hopes and dreams for the future; what college he would be going to, and a big "dream" he had (to win the Monster Truck competition) and then his "real" job goal..(to be a mechanical engineer). As I listened to him talk with such positive determination, I saw the glow of pride on his Mother's face and felt her joy. He seemed pretty extraordinary for a boy his age. As we talked a few minutes more he told me he was a cancer survivor. (showed me the scar that ran up his neck to the back of his head). He was diagnosed when he was 5 and been thru numerous surgeries and treatments. I cannot explain to you how I felt. I only knew that at this very moment God was blessing me by bringing this little boy into my life to share with me. I saw what complete trust and faith in God could do for someone if they choose to follow God. I have NO doubt that this little boy will accomplish his dreams and goals. I Praise God for bringing him into my life as he is such an inspiration to "living". He will forever be in my heart and prayers. PTL
