When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.
A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman.
He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do.
As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies and kissed him just as the photographer snapped this photograph.

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of 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 on his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy 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 a different color hair than the other family members. One child suggested that he was adopted. A little girl
said, "I know all about adoptions because 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."

A four year old was at the pediatrician for a check
up. As the doctor looked down her ears with an otoscope, he asked, "Do you think I'll find Big Bird
in here?" The little girl stayed silent. Next, the doctor took a tongue depressor and looked
down her throat. He asked, "Do you think I'll find the Cokie Monster down there?" Again, the little girl
was silent. Then the doctor put a stethoscope to her chest. As he listened to her heart beat, he asked, "Do you think
I'll hear Barney in there?" "Oh, no!" the little girl replied. "Jesus is in my heart. Barney's on my
underpants."

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 a 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," 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 boy and said, "My little
fellow, why are you looking so earnestly 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 and 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 a towel. By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing apair 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, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?" As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught
her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these
words: "Are you God's Wife?"
