Many of us have experienced wanting to enjoy something but lacking permission to do so. This is especially true for children, as illustrated by a young girl who noticed her neighbor’s basketball hoop..
After knocking on their door and getting no response, she left a note in their mailbox asking if she could play after school. To her surprise, the neighbors not only granted her request but did so with kindness. Their response reminded us of the importance of treating others kindly. In sharing what they owned, they brought joy to a child and renewed our faith in humanity.
