A Change Of Attitude

At noon, Spot walked into Tibby's, with a huge grin on his face.

Every single newsies had a shocked and worry look on there face as they saw him walk over to there tables. Spot hadn't even given a simple laugh since the day he found out Jessie was sick, and now he was smiling like he knew the best secret in the world and no one else knew about it.

"Hey Spot...." Jack said slowly, looking closely at his best friend. "What's up? What are ya so happy bout?"

"Guys, ya'll nevah believe were I'se went dis mornin', and who I'se met!" Spot went on and told everyone about going back to his old church, and about getting saved that morning. EVERYONE had questions, and Spot admitted to them all he didn't know a lot of the answers, but he told them he was joining back to the church in a few days to have a talk with the pastor there, so he could answer more of his questions.

Then Blink finally asked the one question everyone single one of them was wondering.
"Spot...I'se don't mean ta sound mean but, why'd da ya all of a sudden have such a strong desirer for God? For all da time we's known ya, ya's nevah even talk about God, and when ya did ya always seemed like ya was mad at him, almost like ya hated him! What made ya feel differently?"

"Well Blink, I'se guess I'se just suddenly realized, I'se not in charge of me own life! I'se been trying to run it on me own, and without God, it is gonna just be like a total living hell on earth! I'se finally figured out, I'se can't just sit by and relay on da Doctors ta take care of me wife and daughtah! I'se needed ta go ta Jesus for help. And dat's exactly what I'se did!" Spot said laughing at the end.

"Spot, does knowin' God really make ya dat happy? I'se nevah seen ya dis happy in da inter time I'se known ya!" Jack said, wondering if that was what really made Spot this happy.

Spot nodded. "Sure is!"

After eating lunch with everyone, and just talking and catching up, he said he had to leave to get back to the Hospital.

"Spot, do ya t'ink dat Jess is gonna be alright?" Blink asked Spot as he stood up and was just finishing buttoning up his coat.

"I'se not sure Blink," Spot paused, walking towards the door, while putting his gray newsie hat on his head. Then he turned back and smiled at everyone. "But it's all in God's hands!"

All the newsies couldn't help but smile.

"Carryin' Da Bannah Guys!" Spot called before closing the door behide him.

"Carryin' Da Bannah!" They all echoed behide him, glad that there friend was so happy.

A few of them wondered if they would be this happy with God in there life also! None of them were going to say it out load, but an awful lot of them were considering wanting to go down to the church and just see what would happen......
