No Greater Love

Truth, I have a new neighbor who just moved in. She has a two year old autism son. He is as beautiful as a rainbow after the rain. I knocked on her door to return a cell phone, that I had discovered. I notice the cell phone outside between our apartments. She came to the door follow by her two year old autism son. After engaging in conversation with the mother, my attention turn to the child. A beautiful boy about two feet tall. First he gave me one of his shoes, then the other. The mother and I both laughed. Then I looked down and too my surprise I was not wearing any shoes, I had came out of my apartment without putting on my shoes. The joke was on me, he was giving me his precious shoes, Because I was not wearing any shoes. There is no greater love, then a child giving his precious shoes to a stranger. I was deeply touch by his love. A Child shall lead them in the right way.
