Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you.

Tonight on Facebook, Patricia Polacco, one of my most treasured children's book authors shared the video below.  It brought tears to my eyes, and made me stop and think about the small things.  I know Dawn posted yesterday about stopping to enjoy every moment of our life.  I thought this video complimented that post well...as sort of a continuation.  

We're so terribly busy that we forget to stop and look around us.  Stop and enjoy the small things...helping someone or something in need.  Not because we'll get something in return for it, but for the fact that we can help someone who needs it.  Watch this video:

If there's one thing we can learn from this man is that by doing a few good things everyday out of the goodness of our hearts, we can bring great joy and hope to others around us.  Imagine a world like this...if people did this all the time?  We'd have a much more peaceful, unified world.  One can only hope that one day things go that way.
