Every now and then I come across these video compilations of numerous people doing mostly small, everyday things, to help others, and I like to share them because I think it shows us that you don’t have to be wealthy or highly-skilled to be a good people. All it really takes is caring about others and being willing to take a few minutes, or maybe a few dollars, to help someone out. I hope you enjoy this one … oh, and get your box of tissues ready!
And if you still need more good news, head over to JoAnna’s place where she has several tidbits to fill in the gaps!

This is a great post! I love the idea of people doing small things to help others and I think it’s important to remember that you don’t have to be rich or highly skilled to be a good person. All you need is to be willing to take a few minutes, or maybe a few dollars, to help someone out. I hope you enjoy this one and get your box of tissues ready! And if you still need more good news, head over to JoAnna’s place where she has several tidbits to fill in the gaps!

That was absolutely wonderful! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but the one on forgiveness was especially powerful. Thank you for being part of the good news movement!

Indeed it is a lesson for us all. That, and the boy seeing colour for the first time were the tear-jerkers for me.

That was indeed moving. Something which we take for granted, for the first time to witness someone who had been deprived of it.

So very true. Like that old saying, “Walk a mile in my shoes …” If only we even bothered to try.

lyrics:
If I could be you, if you could be me
For just one hour
If we could find a way
To get inside each other’s mind
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead of your ego
I believe you’d be
Surprised to see
That you’ve been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Now, your whole world
You see around you
Is just a reflection
And the law of Karma
Says you gonna reap
Just what you sow, yes you will
So unless you’ve lived a life
Of total perfection
You better be careful of every stone
That you should throw, yeah
And yet we spend the day throwing stones
At one another
‘Cause I don’t think or wear my hair
The same way you do
Well, I may be common people
But I’m your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me
It’s hurtin’ you, Lord have mercy
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
There are people on reservations
And out in the ghettos
And brother, there
But for the grace of God
Go you and I, yeah, yeah
And if I only had the wings
Of a little angel, yeah
Don’t you know I’d fly
To the top of the mountain
And then I’d cry, hey
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Better walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes, yeah
