1) Author and lecturer, Leo Buscaglia, once talked about a contest he was
asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly
gentleman, who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy
went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat
there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little
boy just said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'
2) Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a
family. One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other
members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about adoption, I was adopted.'
'What does it mean to be adopted?', asked another child.
'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew in your mommy's heart instead
of her tummy!'
3) Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about
little Jamie Scott.
Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me
that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be
chosen.
On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after
school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. 'Guess
what Mom,' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson
to me..... 'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'
4) An eye witness account from New York City , on a cold day in December,
some years ago: A little boy, about 10 years old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.
A lady approached the young boy and said, 'My, but you're in such deep thought
staring in that window!'
'I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,'was the boy's reply
The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk
to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could
give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.
She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing
her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the
towel. By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair
upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.
She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She
patted him on the head and said, 'No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.'
As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and
looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her .
'Are you God's wife?'
