WATCH OUT FOR THE LAST

STORY....IT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!!

 

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 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?'
