Stories with Eddie were a highlight of my kids’ bedtime routines. They were the shoot-from-the-hip kind without pages or binding. Homemade, off-the-cuff, they told of a boy and his horse, “Cheetop,” the mysterious name our son had given his “horse,” the see-saw on his swing set.
Stories have a way of creating lasting memories. In fact, before books became common, stories shared legends of heroes, propelled children into their adult destinies, and connected bygone ancestors with multiple generations. Stories teach, they entertain, they unite. The ability to relate through stories is something God designed for Jesus taught principles of life and eternity through His parables.
Your story is important. Maybe it’s your life, recounted so others get to know you. Maybe it’s a work of fiction through which you make a vital point. Maybe it’s merely a “Cheetop” moment, inciting a momentary giggle. The words you weave have impact. What story will you tell?
