Yesterday I was invited to attend a party that helps children badly injured in the big earthquake in May. I went because I .
At the party, all the children were given in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The pictures were all bright.
The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was dark and lifeless. It didn’t have bright colors that his fellow had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was sick. He looked into my eyes and said, “There is nothing anyone can do that will help.”
I certainly understood why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be able to make you better but we can do things, like giving bear hugs, which will help when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one so that he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would be with love for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to home. I turned around and found that standing there with a smile on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is colors. It is getting brighter. Those hugs really do .” On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.
