I was standing in the check out line at Barnes and Noble last Friday...
Behind me I heard a small voice, reading with much gusto and great emotion walk up behind me.
I heard about Abraham and Sarah getting married and planning a family. I guess some angel was talking to them.
This kid's voice was crisp, clear and relaxing.
At one point the reading stopped, then began again.
I snuck a peek and saw that the delay was due to a page change!!! I was also taken back at the age of the child,
she was about 5 years old and reading at, what I would guess,
a 7-9 year old level.
I saw the woman who was with the child and told her that it was wonderful to hear a child read out loud..It sure beats having them sit a computer all day.
She smiled and I could see that she was pleased...
I did walk out of the store feeling good about hearing this small child read out loud...
When you find yourself losing faith in the adults of tomorrow, something like this will get you excited about their future.
