Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Face down on the sidewalk is where I found myself last night after I tripped while walking our dog. As I laid there getting my bearings, retrieving my glasses (thankfully not broken) and assessing that our dear greyhound was still connected to my wrist, a man got out of a car and asked if I was OK.

Who wouldn’t feel better with such a show of kindness by a stranger?

Once back in the car, he and his travel companion even lingered before they drove off to make sure I really was all right.

A spontaneous and well-appreciated embodiment of the spirit of Christmas.
