Just two good stories:

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  winners were:
  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.'

********************************************

   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?'

 

Thanks for coming by the log.  We spent today at the VA hospital getting my hearing aids adjusted. I had a great lady doctor. She confirms,’I AM DEAF!’. (NEWS) but she did manage to get me up to 30% with these hearing aids.

Done some blood work and talked to a Dr. and got some ‘Simfastatin’ for my bad cholesterol. Now I am officially on medication, first time in my life.

When you were a kid, could your dad or anyone in the family, do that trick of removing his thumb and putting it back on??
