We are small children to GOD

Ronit Subramanian was seven years old.he favourite toy is pepper doggy where he will not sleep on the bed with out his doggy toy. Ronit  was the tallest student in his class. It made him feel very proud. Ronit always thinks that now AM a big boy.

Last week his mother’s old school friend had come to see her. They were meeting after 10 years. Ronit was just back from school but his ears pricked up when he heard his mother say in that goofy tone, “You know what my Ronit used to do as a baby? He used to think everything and everyone was a part of the Subramanian family. So he would call the refrigerator ‘frig Subramanian. And he would call the doggy that curled up on our doormat outside ‘doggy Subramanian’”. Ronit heard his mother’s friend say, “cho chweeeet” and he ran out of the house – without any lunch. “I wish mother would not do these things,” he said for the thousandth time.

That evening his mother showed him the toys and games her friend had got for him. One stuffed dolphin and a game of blocks. Ronit got angry. “These are kids toys, kids toys and games. I am a big boy now. My hero is Spider man. That’s the toy I want for my birthday this year.
“Are you saying you no longer want your favourite stuffed toy – pepper the doggy?” Ronit’s mother asked. “I don’t want kids toys, I don’t want kids toys and games any more. I am a BIG BOY,” Ronit shouted. ‘Okay, okay, we heard you,” said his parents.
A month later, Ronit’s parents bought him a Spider man kit for his eighth birthday. They bought him a Spider man T-shirt and trousers, a shiny Spider man toy and a glove  . There was even a Spider man cake.
After his friends left, Ronit opened up each gift package. Yesssss! He was a big boy now. He had got so many presents of toys and games and they were all for big boys. . Ronit went to sleep clutching the Spider man.
As soon as his head hit the pillow Ronit fell asleep. He  slept in a room of his own.. But until yesterday, he had gone to sleep clutching Pepper doggy’s ear. The softness of the toy always made him happy. But Spider man was a metal toy which is poking him continuously .Ronit unable to sleep properly.On that night he waked up and looked around what's making him from sleep's night,then he realised its a spider man toy and made him to remember happy sleep with a pepper doggy toy. Immediately ronit thrown away spider man toy and bought back his old favourite doggy toy and got back to sleep.
                We always thinks that we are grown up and ignores the old gifts which are given by OUR LORD.When the actual day comes to realize what are present gifts we achieved by our own knowledge,God given gifts are much much better then our own achieved gifts.At least now start thinking ARE YOU IGNORING  OLD GIFTS GIVEN BY LORD?
