Morning......Here's a nice way to start the day.
Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5-year-old girl and some
construction workers that will make you believe that we all can make a difference when we give
a child the gift of our time.
A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot. One day, a construction crew began
to build a house on the empty lot. The family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an
interest in the goings-on and spent much of each day observing the workers.
Eventually the construction crew, all of them 'gems-in-the-rough,' more or less, adopted her
as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her during coffee and lunch breaks and gave her
little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week, they even
presented her with a pay envelope containing ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her
mother who suggested that she take her ten dollars 'pay' she'd received to the bank the next
day to start a savings account.
The little girl replied, "I will, if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the f****** sheet rock."
Kind of brings a tear to the eye - doesn't it?
