How far you go in life depends on you being tender 
with the young, compassionate with the aged, 
sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak 
and the strong. Because someday in life you will have 
been all of these. - George Washington Carver

I heard a story about Fiorello LaGuardia who was mayor of New
York City during the worst days of the Great Depression and all
of WWII. He was adored by many New Yorkers who took to calling
him the “Little Flower,” because he was so short and always wore
a carnation in his lapel.

He was a colorful character — he rode the New York City fire
trucks, raided city “speakeasies” with the police department,
took entire orphanages to baseball games, and when the New York
newspapers went on strike, he got on the radio and read the
Sunday funnies to the kids.

One bitterly cold night in January of 1935, the mayor turned up
at a night court that served the poorest ward of the city.
LaGuardia dismissed the judge for the evening and took over the
bench himself. Within a few minutes, a tattered old woman was
brought before him, charged with stealing a loaf of bread. She
told LaGuardia that her daughter’s husband had deserted her, her
daughter was sick, and her two grandchildren were starving.

But the shopkeeper, from whom the bread was stolen, refused to
drop the charges. “It’s a real bad neighborhood, your Honor,” the

LaGuardia sighed. He turned to the woman and said, “I’ve got to

From Tyler:

This morning I awoke and was so frustrated about all of the stuff that I’m dealing with in trying to get this studio open. I was about to open my mouth and start complaining when I remembered something that happened to me about a year ago.

I was walking to my car when this woman who appeared to be homeless started walking towards me. I’m ashamed to say this but I thought, “I don’t feel like being hustled today.” Then I got quickly convicted. I felt guilty so I started digging in my pocket for some money. As she got closer I noticed that she had the kindest eyes that I had ever seen. As I was reaching into my pocket she started to speak. I thought, “Here goes the sales pitch”. She said “Excuse me sir, I need some shoes. Can you help me?” My eyes filled with water because I remember being out on the streets and having only one pair of run over shoes. I was taken aback for a second.

I took her inside the studio and had my wardrobe people find shoes in her size. As she put the shoes on she started crying, praising God and thanking Jesus, and saying, “My feet are off the ground! My feet are off the ground!” Several of the wardrobe people started crying. I was crying. But I never forgot those words. “My feet are off the ground!” I thought, “Wow! All she wanted was some shoes.” She quickly disappeared and never asked me for a dime. I realized that I still had the money in my hand so I went out looking
