Thankful Thursday is a special day in our family. It’s a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began two years ago. We go out to do charity(慈善) work.
Last Thursday we drove along a busy Houston street to give out lunch for the poor people in the street. After we ate, I ordered 15 more lunches from McDonald’s and began to give them out. We noticed a poor, old woman standing on the side of the road, asking for something to eat. We handed her our final lunch bag. Just as we got into the car she walked quickly closer to us. “Thank you very much. No one has ever done anything like this for me before,” she said with a big smile. “Well, I’m glad that we were the first,” I replied. “So, when will you eat your lunch?” I asked. She looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, “Oh honey, I’m not going to eat this. I have a little girl of my own. She loves McDonald’s, but I don’t have the money. You see, tonight she will be happy!”
I don’t know if the kids saw the tears(眼泪) in my eyes. I have asked myself many times whether our acts of kindness were too small to really change anything. But at that moment, I understood the kind lady Mother Teresa’s words: “We cannot do great things—only small things with great love.”
