ONE FLOWER IN THE SAND

On a walk along the beach…after we’d been walking for a while we came upon a flower growing in the sand…and immediately we smiled. And this one flower got me thinking: We are living in a world where increasingly we see some people do not act without first asking themselves…What’s in it for me? While at the same time…in the same world we see other people, like this flower, making others smile never thinking to ask…What’s in it for me? Look around, despite the news, there is in humanity a definite trend to help a stranger, help a neighbor, help an animal…help a friend. You’ll see people encouraging someone they never met before… complimenting, congratulating, lending a hand…holding a door. Writing a note, giving a gift…letting another person know… it’s them they’re thinking of. helping someone in need…sewing seeds of love. When we bring someone joy…we fee it in our core…. how we’ve helped to make the world a little more beautiful than it was a moment before. And we begin to think in beautiful…because we understand… all it takes to make the world more beautiful… is one flower in the sand.
