We are all the same at heart

I was listening to a podcast called "the kindness podcast" and a person being interviewed told this story.

A Christian mother in Ashtabula, Ohio sends her son off in the morning on the school bus. As she watches him board the bus, she has a feeling in her heart.

A woman in Nairobi, Kenya watches her son leave the small house and walk three-quarters of a mile to the school. As she watches him turn the corner and head out of sight, she has a feeling in her heart.

A Mother in Beijing watches her son, clad in his school uniform, board the bus to go to the state run elementary school.  As she watches him board the bus she has a feeling in her heart.

A mother in Tehran, clad head to toe in her hajib, watches her son board the bus for school.  As he steps onto the bus, he looks back at her and smiles. This mother has a feeling in her heart.

The point of the story is this: ultimately, we are all the same. What we feel in our hearts, what we desire for our children, and many many of the feelings that we have, they are all the same. We are all the same.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
