Who is your Susie in your life?



                                 WET
                                PANTS


                            Come with me
             to a third grade classroom..... There is a
          nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of
          a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and
            the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his
              heart is going to stop because he cannot
            possibly imagine how this has happened. It's
            never happened before, and he knows that when
           the boys find out he will never hear the end of
          it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak
                     to him again as long as he
                               lives.





                               The boy
          believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his
          head down and prays this prayer, 'Dear God, this
           is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes
                          from now I'm dead
                               meat.'





                             He looks up
           from his prayer and here comes the teacher with
              a look in her eyes that says he has been
                             discovered.





                               As the
             teacher is walking toward him, a class mate
           named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is
           filled with water. Susie trips in front of the
          teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water
                            in the boy's
                               lap...





                               The boy
             pretends to be angry, but all the while is
           saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you,
                               Lord!'





                            Now all of a
          sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule,
           the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher
           rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts
          to put on while his pants dry out. All the other
           children are on their hands and knees cleaning
           up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful.
            But as life would have it, the ridicule that
            should have been his has been transferred to
                           someone else -
                               Susie.





                            She tries to
           help, but they tell her to get out. You've done
                             enough, you
                               klutz!'





                             Finally, at
           the end of the day, as they are waiting for the
           bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers,
            'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie
                 whispers back, 'I wet my pants once
                                too.'





                           May God help
           us see the opportunities that are always around
                              us to do
                               good..

I had a opportunity to help out my cousin.
