I heard this on the Christian radio station this morning.  It really touched 
me.  I won't have to explain how it applies to Rangers.  Aunt Janet

A little 10 yr. old girl went to spend the night with her favorite aunt and 
cousin.  The cousin was an eight year old boy born with no arms.  The next 
morning the girl had gotten dressed and went in to see if she could help the 
boy get dressed.  What she sw horrified her.

Her aunt was standing in the middle of the boy's bedroom with her arms 
crossed while her son struggled to get into his tee shirt.  The boy 
struggled, writhed, and fought to get into that shirt, but instead got all 
tangled up.

"Help me, Momma."  he said "I'm all tangled up!"

His mother said nothing and stood still, watching.

The girl cousin stepped up and her aunt pulled her back, forbidding her to 
help.  Confused, the girl looked up at her aunt and then to her struggling 
cousin with tears in her eyes.  Again the boy plead with his mother, begging 
her to help him get out of the tangled shirt, but the mother stayed silent 
and unmoving.

After a little more pleading, the boy began to cry.  The girl couldn't take 
anymore, so she cried out to her aunt, "Help him!  Help him!  Can't you see 
how hard it is for him?"

The aunt stayed silent with her arms crossed, the boy stuggled and cried and 
the girl cried out once more.  "Why don't you help him?"

The boy's mother looked down at the girl with tears in her eyes and said, "I 
am."

I'm a story teller and once in a while a story comes along loaded with 
possibilities, this is one of them.  They said the boy grew up to be a 
successful architect by drawing with his feet.  Who knew?  His mother did.
I'd like to know how you feel about this story.
