Stories of Kindness from Around the World

The Egg & Spoon Race


--by Bibirose, posted May 9, 2007

My friend & I were at the school games. Her son Andrew has cerebal palsy but he was insistent that he was going in the races. In the flat race he ran well, but came in last.

In a short pace of time the egg & spoon race was on.

What we saw next brought tears to our eyes.

The school principle handed Andrew his the spoon with the egg glued onto it. Needless to say Andrew came in at the Number 1 and our tears were mixed with laughter and so much joy.

An act of kindness makes us all winners.

As I become more involved with those who know how to love and leave smile cards, I become more content with my own life, I used to think I walked to a beat of a different drummer, but now I realize, there are many who are advanced, I can only pray I will someday come close to them, but for this time in my life I am greatful I can even see their shadow
