Recently, I flew to Utah to sing a song for a project called Especially For Youth (EFY). I took my youngest, Kate ( 11 months), along with me so her grandparents could see how cute she is.
Luckily, Kate is so calm and did great on the trip, but the part that amazed me was the kind nature of those who were around us at the airport. So many people would smile and wave at Kate, and even more impressive is the number of people who were willing to help. People helping with my bags, or people holding doors, etc… I even had one mother and daughter say to me, “It looks like you’re traveling alone with her. If you need anything, like to use the restroom and need someone to hold her, we’re happy to help.”
These days an offer like that may sound a little scary, but I could tell they were sincere, so I let them watch Kate for a while… Just kidding! I didn’t let them watch her at all, but I just thought it was nice that people were so helpful. It made my trip enjoyable because I was able to see that there are many, many kind and wonderful people in the world that I’m a part of. It’s people like this that I believe help make life a little more rich.
