My son, E has made the goal to every day to befriend someone new at school who looks lonely or sad or picked on. E is very popular and so he hoped others will follow his example. So far, he has done it every day this week. He always comes home so excited to tell me the wonderful love and kindness he has shown to the "least of these" and the difference it has made. The best though is what E said today, "I really think I am the one who is getting the most out of this. I have so many more great friends and I have learned that when they say at church, everyone is special, it really is true! The kids who don't have friends are just as special as the ones that do!"
Makes a mom want to cry tears of joy!
what a fine example, that boy of yours! thanks for sharing.
