THIS ONE IS PRICELESS
At the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or
mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash.
At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a
relish to run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one
little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times,
and began to cry.
The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back.
Then they all turned around and went back......every one of them. One
girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said, "This will
make it better." Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the
finish line.
Everyone in the stadium stood, the cheering went on for several minutes.
People who were there are still telling the story... Why? Because deep
down we know this one thing: What matters in this life is more than
winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping others win,
even if it means slowing down and changing our course. If you pass this
on, we may be able to change our hearts as well as someone else's. "A
candle loses nothing by lighting another candle" Shine your light on
others....
