Perspective

12 years old. What were you like? I was probably in the driveway playing basketball or getting into something outside. You are 12. All you do is enjoy sunny days, hang out with friends, and eat dinner when Momma calls you in.

Yesterday, a man from work called. He asked me if I would go to Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital. There is a little girl with cancer that loves watching Mississippi Outdoors and she wants to meet me. My goodness. I was very honored by this opportunity.

I take her a few Mississippi Outdoors items, a Realtree hat, and a Hot Heads hat. I walk into the room to see a precious 12 year old girl laying in a hospital bed. My heart sinks. I introduce myself and hand her the stuff I brought. She loved it all. She immediately put the Hot Heads hat on. She really loved it.

I sit on her bed. We chat. She tells me she loves hunting and fishing. She loves her friends. She plays basketball, softball, tennis, and volleyball. She is a cheerleader. And she wants her school to start a kickball team. Hearing her talk, I couldn't help but to think-she and I had so much in common, minus the cheerleading and kickball.

I am very glad I got to meet such a special little girl. It really made my day.

Her name is Karrie. Karrie has a strong cancer. Karrie has a stronger God. Please pray for sweet Karrie and her family. They were all so worn out yet hopeful.

If life doesn't find you in the hospital today, then be thankful. Perspective. It's all how you look at it.
