My friend David owns a video store here in town. Over the years of my renting movies and him recommending the ones that move him, we have recognized each other as kindred spirits. He is a humanitarian,with a big heart. He often cries with emotion when telling me one story or other.<br><br>He and his wife are just back from a few weeks in Central America. The story he brought back is so David! He and his wife were waiting to board the plane at the end of their trip when a little boy came along, tugging at his shirt, asking to shine his shoes. David had sandals on but said he could shine his wife's shoes. He said he watched his little hands polishing away, the boy asked a quarter. David gave him a dollar and another dollar for his little sister. As they walked away David got very quiet. His wife said "you are quiet." He stopped. He said "What is the difference between this little boy and my own son?" He went back. There was no time to do everything right then as they had to get on the plane. But David arranged through a man who was there, for the man to be a liaison, and David promised to pay to send both children to school - all the way through school.<br><br>That's my David. People can be so beautiful!Sherry Blue Skyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525148995025436573.post-22627907055993394472010-08-03T15:32:05.851-07:002010-08-03T15:32:05.851-07:00Sherry..that is an extraordinary story!

We gave and gave when we were in Africa, but the only thing that will make a true difference is to educate these children. Uplifting them means their whole community benefits...in turn, so does the country, and the world. We are all family on this planet...<br><br>Thanks so much for sharing that...your friend David is someone I'd be honoured to call friend...<br><br>LynetteLynette Killamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13747902602019771481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525148995025436573.post-14039194774959337272010-08-06T20:04:26.829-07:002010-08-06T20:04:26.829-07:00your stories often have a moving effect on me. i t...your stories often have a moving effect on me. i think that you would do all that you could to make this a brighter place. i think that you already do.Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14034100685827817427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525148995025436573.post-21378174438466562012010-08-06T20:25:29.482-07:002010-08-06T20:25:29.482-07:00Oh I love your line of reading on the left hand si...Oh I love your line of reading on the left hand side, Lynette.
