Kindness To Children - An overdue thanks from a parent....
In 2011, my wife and I traveled to Israel with my 4 children. As these things happen, my daughter got a fever while exploring Jerusalem.
Unlike the US, pharmacies are not on every corner in the old city. We were late waiting on line at the City of David and I asked the women at the ticket sales desk for directions to the nearest pharmacy to buy acetaminophen.
Quickly, they asked what the problem was. I explained that my 9-year-old daughter had a fever.
Without blinking an eye, the woman quickly asked her coworkers where the first aid kit was and offered me acetaminophen. “ Is one enough? You are visiting. Please take 3 so that you will have time to find a pharmacy."
She took the medicine, perked up and off we went on our tour.
Since that time I've often thought about this kindness. Could there be a more fitting place to demonstrate generosity to strangers and kindness to children?
