Over this past weekend I observed the goodness in people first hand, as my six year old granddaughter was engaged in a charity event for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It was entitled “Cupcakes for St. Jude.” As she sold her sweetly decorated cupcakes, on this beautiful sunny Saturday, she not only raised money for this great cause, but we as her family, saw many glimpses of the meaning of goodness…the loyalty and support of a wonderful neighborhood, gracious monetary contributions, and some paying it forward for other customers yet to arrive. As our day ended, I was tenderly impressed at what my granddaughter had taken in that day, and I know she will always remember the kindness of all those that came to make a difference. It is for sure that when you are engaged in acts of service and charity, good will always find you and leave it’s indelible mark.
