Sweet story!
Standing in line at the post office in Shibuya, old woman in front of me struggling with a package.
Clerk: This is too heavy. You need different box.
Woman: But this is only box I have.
Me: (without thinking) I have a box. You can have it.
Woman: (turning to me) You would do…

Don’t know if this is true, but sounds plausible, and I hope that it is.
🇺🇸 America, what if one day you discovered that a 19-year-old had spent EVERY SATURDAY for the past FOUR YEARS reading to blind children—using funny voices to make them smile, keeping his identity private so they could simply treat him like everyone else, and never missing a… pic.twitter.com/9bUA48WQkX

Love the Barron Trump story. A life of service is inspired by what you are taught and what you see. Melania and Donald have raised their son to be a responsible adult and it definitely shows.

Reflections on Caretaking #2
“A CHEERFUL HEART IS GOOD MEDICINE,” Proverbs 17:22. Not all medicines are developed by drug companies. The quote above is not an analogy. It is an actual fact that positive, upbeat people get better faster. We can see this with little children in cancer wards who, unless they have been neglected or abused, are almost always happy and cheerful and looking forward to when they can play again. The rest of the Bible verse shown above is “…but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” Do you know anyone with a crushed spirit? There is hope for them. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit,” Psalm 34:18. If you as a caregiver have a cheerful attitude, your loved one is likely to catch it.
