Dayton’s Legs – A Story of Hope

by Vickey Pahnke Taylor on April 1, 2012

Dayton's Legs - amazing goodness

Dayton’s Legs is more than a good video. It sets a standard that each of us – regardless of our faith, creed, abilities, or location- would be wise to follow.  And if there were more “Spencers” in this world, well… the world would be a better place!

There is something immeasurably wonderful about seeing goodness in action like this. Even better? This is a thirteen year old boy. He seems to have the humility, the wisdom, and the loving compassion of someone many decades older.  Or perhaps this is an example of the scripture, “… a little child shall lead them.”

Bless him, and Dayton. And so many others who are finding ways to make a difference for goodness.  I celebrate this wonderful video!

I will eventually have a page on which we can share all kinds of goodness in action. Meanwhile, if you have a story of anyone, doing anything that shows goodness and a caring spirit, please send it to me at vickeypahnketaylor@gmail.com .  We’ll post it up here.

Imagine having hundreds of stories like these – in video form, or just a simply written message (and photo, if you can) – to look through when an uplift is needed. Another plus- we can follow the lead of Spencer, or any good soul who serves because of love and kindness- and, in our own way, keep growing the goodness in our own style.

Be a Beacon

Videos like this one make me especially grateful for the Internet.  So many wonderful ways of serving. Growing in kindness. Offering up goodness. Being a beacon!
