LOOK 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?'
