Wednesday, November 13, 2013 You are reading from the book Todays Gift The measure of a mans real character is what he would do if he knew he could never be found out. —Thomas Macaulay Remember the tale about the poor, tired shoemaker who cut out his last bit of leather and awoke to find a beautiful pair of shoes sewn for him? Night after night two little elves secretly worked from midnight to dawn sewing shoes to help the old craftsman. Helping the shoemaker without his knowing who they were made the elves very happy, and they danced and sang as they worked away. These elves knew their reward was in the doing of the good deed, not in the discovery of them doing it. What secret gift of kindness can I give today?
