Author and lecturer, Leo Buscaglia, once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was: A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old man’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy just said: ‘Nothing, I just helped him cry.’
This Festive season, let’s give our best, let’s show compassion, let’s show empathy, let’s ‘help someone cry’ and let’s put a smile on someone’s face and stay blessed forever.
