A Mother's Gracious Kindness

"Kindness is the touch of an angel's hand."
―James L. Gordon

Recently, I was amazed by the very generous kindness of a mom I know.  Her daughter was receiving a special honor at school.  However, the daughter's best friend was not.  This mother was incredibly gracious with both her daughter's best friend as well as the girl's mother.  She got the two girls together in a rare weekday play date and she was very thoughtful in how she spoke to the other mother about the honor her daughter had received.  In an era when so many parents seem eager to one up each other with their children's accomplishments, it was refreshing to see this mother's kindness.
