The Biggest Heart of All
Matthew 5:8
“Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.â€
December 26, 1968, we had our first child, a son. The next day as we were standing in front of the nursery window glowing over our new son, a woman looking out of her doorway asked; “Do you have a new baby?†My husband said with pride, “Oh yes, do you have a new baby?†She replied, “No, I lost mine.†We both shared our sorrow with her and silently walked back to my room.
My husband quietly left and returned three hours later. He sat on my bedside and took my hand. He went on to explain that he did not have any flowers for me. I quickly assured him I did not need any flowers. He insisted on explaining why he did not have flowers for me. He had sent the woman who lost her baby a dozen roses. He asked me if I was disappointed. I told him how wonderful it was for him to have such a big heart.
If we could only have this kind of heart for others, we could transform the world.
