Just a thought

One night my family and I were all sitting in the living room talking to some friends of ours. About halfway through our conversation one of the men (there were two of them) reached over and handed me a piece of paper with two airplanes on it. One was the Wright brothers (Sp?..that's embarrassing...) first air plane and the other was the most advanced technologically that we have today. Our friend talked to us about how these air planes represent our lives. We build our own plane. It's not like having the Wright brothers' plane would be bad-- at least it's an airplane.. but wouldn't it be so much better to have the technologically advanced plane? You could do so many more things and have so many more things and give such amazing things.



After our friends left I took this thought a step further in my head. You build your own plane, right? And the plane represents our life. After we decide what we're going to do with our life and choose a career and have built our airplane, what next? Have any of you ever seen that old movie "The Even Stevens Movie?" It was a T.V. show and then they made a movie out of it. Anyway, in the movie, the Stevens family thinks they're going to some tropical island to participate in a reality show, but really they get in an airplane and ride around in circles for hours and then land at a local beach the T.V. station has disguised to look like some far away paradise. Think about it..What if we applied this to our lives. We first build our airplane, and then WE decide where it goes! WE choose if we want to ride around in circles for hours and then land back home or if we want to ride in the plane for hours and end up in Paris, France. Or wherever you might want to go the most. We are the pilots of our own lives. We decide..no matter how much we wish it were up to someone else..it's our life; our plane; our destination. What will you do with it? ..Just a thought
