(from Texas, USA) Yesterday morning the cube said, “Be the first to help others.” I was at an event, selling my children’s books. A hearing-impaired boy and his dad stopped at my table. He wanted books, but his dad had no money on him. I gave him one of my “free gifts”–a bag with a package of animal crackers and a bottle of bubbles–and they moved on. But then, I heard that “little voice.” When I handed him a book, his dad said, “You’d better give her a hug.” That made my day. The next thing his dad said was, “That worked out well, because it’s his birthday.” For me, that reciprocated more than I had given. I’m so glad that I didn’t miss the opportunity to give him a true gift, one that asks for nothing in return.
