Overheard a mother asking her daughter
Which one do you want to be ?
One of God's children or one of them girls over there , a *****
Few minutes of silence before she asked,
Mom can I be a preacher or priest?
Her head dropped and hands raised
Thank you Jesus she yelled as tears ran down her face
Yes, yes you can
Quickly gather you things so we can get home
Her father sitting with bible and the tv on as she intrupts
Go ahead and tell your dad
Let you dad know, Go ahead
All stares and no words
The mom yells out daughter wants to serve the Lord
He lays the bible on the table and his glasses on the that bible
Pulls a handkerchief to wipe his forehead
Takes his daughters hand says
This is the greatest day of my life
God has answered my prayers
She looks up at her mom then back to her dad
One more time before letting them know
I don't want to do the Lord's work
I just figured if I was a preacher or a priest I wouldn't have to decide
I could be both
