Paige

I was driving on the freeway when we got stuck for about two hours in a horrendous traffic jam on our way to have dinner at a mall. Of course when waiting to reach your destination while traversing an extremely slow moving traffic what do you do? You try to beat the boredome from out of your system. Ergo one of the ways to do that is to entertain yourself (singular, if you are driving alone) and or yourselves (plural if you're with other people e.g. your family). As we were moving closer to our destination albeit in a turtle pace I heard a voice so sweet and angelic from the backseat of the vehicle. I heard her sing a number of times before but none could've compared to how she sang that night. She sang like a nightingale in one of the animated movies I had watched when I was just a squirt and a half. I immediately stared towards the direction of my wife who was sitting beside me, initially with disbelief that later turned into amusement (It was one of those "I am proud to be your Dad moments"). Paige is her name and she is my youngest daughter, we nicknamed her Jheyjette. This morning on my way to drop her off to school I encouraged her to use the gift that God has given her only to glorify Him to which she agreed. I must admit I never thought her talent would ever go beyond mastering computer games or making witty remarks...I surprised myself! Praise God! for kids who with their childlike faith bring so much joy to their parents.

After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had recieved five talents brought the other five. "Master he said, you entrusted me with five talents. See I have gained five more." His master replied, "Well done, good and faithful sevant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things, Come and share your master's happiness!"
