Special Gift.....

Timothy and Christopher were together this past February in our meetings. Timothy was a little disappointed because he thought he was going to get to be with the youth this year, but decided he would enjoy this year anyway. So there was a guy that came to speak to the kids. He was cool, and both boys really liked him. He was a surfer, and had a way of relating to the kids, so that they took the things he said to heart.

He told the kids he had a special gift of being able to discern attitudes in people. Of course Christopher had to try for himself. He ran up to him after one of the meetings, and looked him straight in the eye and said, "OK. Tell me what you see." The guy bent down so that he was eye level with Christopher, and stared into his eyes. "You're wild at heart," he said.

Christopher looked at him in disbelief. Then he looked at Timothy and said, "Man. He's good," and walked away. ha! Timothy cracked up.

It was special for the boys, though. "Surfer dude" made sure to find both of the boys and tell them that he was thinking of them and would remember them. Now THAT was a special gift!

That quote 'you're wild at heart' was so funny. (and true) I'm still laughing!
