What does Adopted mean?

A little girl said, "I know all about adoption, I was


adopted."








"What does it mean to be adopted?" asked another child.








"It means" said the girl, "that you grew in your


mommy's heart instead of her tummy!"

On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball


game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the


bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was.








"We're behind 14 to nothing," he answered with a smile.








"Really," I said. "I have to say you don't look very


discouraged."








"Discouraged?" the boy asked with a puzzled look on his


face... "Why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat


yet."

Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about


little Jamie Scott.








Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me


that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.








On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after


school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.


"Guess what, Mom," he shouted, and then said those words that will


remain a lesson to me....."I've been chosen to clap and cheer."

An eye witness account from New


York City , on a cold day in December, some years ago:


A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the


roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.








A lady approached the young boy and said, "My, but you're in


such deep thought staring in that window!"








"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's


reply.








The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk


to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give


her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.








She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing


her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.








By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair


upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.








She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She


patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, you will be more comfortable


now."
