My
daughter cried last night when I told her that we couldn’t visit her grandpa
this weekend. In my defense, she has a
fever and a sore throat. She is mostly
upset because we spent a week making flowers out of tissue paper to bring with
us. She was looking forward to handing
them out to the residents of the assisted living where her grandfather
stays. It was going to be an early
Valentines present. Making these flowers
is easy for a child to do and so is making people smile.
I like
the fact that children can effortlessly make someone smile. Children know that even the smallest things
matter. Ironically, we are the ones that
taught them this lesson. This month,
let’s follow our hearts instead of our brains. Let’s give with the ease of
children and remember that no act is too small.
Even a tissue paper flower will brighten someone’s day.
