I Hope Someone Does This for Me Someday...



If you can get past the fact that the music in the background was performed by the "Evangenitals," you will see a simple, winsome act of compassion, shown by a fellow who can do amazing things with balloons.

We've all been in nursing homes before. There's not a lot of joy there very often. Most of the folks there seem to be just living, existing day by day. Some, if asked, would say that they are anxious to not be living any more. I am thankful for people who are able to bring smiles to those who don't seem to have a lot to smile about any more.

The "Balloon Man" was able to practice his skills, but he also found that kindness pays dividends. By being a blessing, we are blessed.
