As I was picking up our 7 year old, Elliana, from Good Shepherd Montessori School yesterday I saw one of her classmates walking home. On his usual afternoon stroll home he was picking up trash along the way. To him it's no big deal; it's just what you do. I LOVE THAT! People who are able to think OUTSIDE themselves. Beautiful!
As I dropped our 5 year old, Kya, off at Marquette Montessori Academy this morning he entered his school and turned back to wave out the glass door. What he noticed was a mom coming his way holding a baby in a carrier. Instantly, he re-opened the door and graciously held it open until she made her way into the building. To him it's no big deal; it's just what you do. I LOVE THAT! The mom had a huge smile of joy, gratitude and surprise on her face. Priceless. Passing on Jesus love to others by thinking OUTSIDE of ourselves.
Let's model in such a way that these behaviors are the New Normal and not the exception.
