Blessed
John, an 11-year-old boy living in New York City, feels lost and unsure about his purpose. His curiosity leads him on a journey to find wisdom and understanding, guided by his mother's heartfelt stories. Will John discover the wisdom he needs to feel blessed?
In a bustling corner of New York City, 11-year-old John stared out of his apartment window. He felt a deep emptiness, a sense that he wasn't saved or blessed like others. His red glasses fogged up as he sighed heavily. John wondered, 'Why don't I feel special or wise?' His mom noticed his troubled look and gently asked, 'What's bothering you, honey?'
John explained his feelings to his mom, who listened intently. She knew this was a serious problem for him. 'Everyone else seems to have their life figured out,' John said, his voice trembling. Mom sat beside him and began to tell him a story. 'Once, there was a wise old man who lived in a small village,' she started. John listened carefully, hoping to find some answers.
As the story unfolded, John realized the wise man faced many obstacles too. 'He failed many times before finding his wisdom,' Mom said. 'One day, he tried to help the villagers, but they laughed at him.' John felt a pang of empathy. 'Did he ever give up?' John asked. 'No,' Mom replied, 'He kept trying, learning from each failure.'
Despite the story, John felt like giving up. 'I don't think I'll ever find my wisdom,' he said, tears welling up in his eyes. 'It's too hard, and I keep failing.' Mom hugged him tightly and whispered, 'It's okay to feel this way, but remember, every failure is a step closer to wisdom.' John sighed, feeling a tiny spark of hope.
One evening, John had an epiphany while reading a book about famous inventors. 'They all failed many times before succeeding!' he exclaimed. 'Mom, I think I understand now,' John said excitedly. 'Wisdom comes from learning and not giving up!' His mom smiled proudly. 'That's right, John. You're already on your way to being wise.'
With newfound determination, John decided to embrace his curiosity. He started asking more questions and seeking answers without fear of failure. 'Every mistake is a lesson,' he reminded himself. Over time, John felt a sense of growth and wisdom. 'I feel blessed,' he told his mom one day. She hugged him and said, 'You always were, John.'
