I know its early but what with painting the house I'm not sure when I'll get another chance to post. So here's wishing you and your loved ones, those still with us and those waiting for us elsewhere, a happy Christmas full of love and caring. And for a change (for me anyway) let's think of those less fortunate than us and maybe, make a small difference to someone you don't know! Today, I overhead my wife talking to her sister. She was telling her about how hard it is for some people, how the hospitality industry is a thankless place to work and how staff are (mis)treated. Then she talked about the homeless. She told her about how my eldest daughter would always take time to talk to them, treat them with dignity as they sat on the streets of our capital, while the well heeled hordes passed by, indifferent to their plight, at best! She related how my daughter, after talking to one of them, asked him his what he needed. He said he needed €15 to pay for a hostel bed, to have a safe place to sleep. She asked him his name - he told her. He asked him his surname and he got a bit reticent. - why did she want to know. "So I can book a hostel for you for tonight and pay for it". Which she did. I felt humbled, and very proud. Although my wife takes most of the credit for my kids upbringing and the morals they are imbued with. This is a classic case of the next generation showing the previous one how to live a good life. I guess its my turn to follow her lead - to do what she does, not what I say. Will you follow that lead? The next time you pass someone on the street, don't pass judgement, don't "tut, tut". Do something. Make a difference. My daughter has put it up to me. She didn't even mention it. But by God she has challenged my standards. Has she challenged yours?0 -
