Do you have a particular storyteller in your family? Are you the storyteller? Are the stories "history" or just fun stories? A couple of interesting things have been talked about this week - which is why I am thinking of these questions. First off a program I was listening to reminded listeners that Jesus told "stories" (parables) to make his point(s). Those stories (parables) are still important today and we should be paying attention to them.
Then...this morning, on the radio, they were talking about it being "National Story Day." Which got me thinking about all the stories we have heard over the years. It also got me thinking about continuing those stories -- or at least remembering the person who told the stories! I can remember Dad telling long, drawn out stories of exploring the desert. It could be a VERY interesting story! When he finally started talking about "finding" an oasis... one of us would figure out we had forgotten to get Dad his glass of ice water with the meal. Dad could also come up with stories as we were traveling, waiting or just "because." So.... are you the storyteller? Are you sharing the stories? Are they stories so you can laugh instead of scream?
