Vera's blog: "Interesting"

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.'

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!'

 On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little
League base ball game that was being played in a park near my
home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first- base
line, I asked one of the boys what the score was. We're behind 14 to
nothing,' he answered With a smile.   'Really,' I  said. 'I have
to say you don't look very discouraged.'   'Discouraged?', the boy
asked with a Puzzled look on his face...  'Why should we be discouraged?
We haven't Been up to bat yet.'

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.'

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 ofsocks 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?'
