Everyone's Job

The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy. - Kalu Kalu


I saw an image the other day that has stuck with me. A crossing guard was wiping tears away from a young girl's face with her neon orange glove. The girl was looking up at the woman with big brown eyes and nodding. The tears seemed to be slowing by the time the light changed and I was driving away.

This woman's job was not to console children- it was to get them safely across the street. But she impacted the girl's day and maybe even her life with her words. Every day we have the opportunity to lift someone up. We can make everyone's walk across the street a little easier and it is everyone's job to do so.
