I have had the privilege this school year of going each day to pick Duncan up from school. It has been a great blessing for me and hopefully for him. I have loved his sense of humor, his great imagination, but often the thing I appreciate the most is his kind heart.
Today I was actually a little ashamed of myself. We stopped at a QT gas station for a cold drink. He had a half finished bag of Cheez-It's and for some reason he carried it into the store. I thought he didn't want the rest so I offered to throw it away but he told me no. I had noticed a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk but apparently Duncan really noticed him. When we left the store he walked over and started to give him the rest of his crackers. I was embarassed that he was going to give him a half empty snack. I told him not to give him the crackers but to get some of the snacks I bring in the car to give him. Sweet Duncan saved those crackers because he saw a homeless man who was hungry and he didn't wait for me to do what was right. He humbled me that I hadn't thought of the same thing when I saw the man. Duncan got three snacks from our bag and gave them to him.
