We don’t know where he get is. Did we teach him to be kind hearted? We think he came that way.
Iām embarrassed to say that a few weeks ago, I noticed Paul packing Eliās lunch. Paul never packs lunches so I glanced in to see what he left. He wrote Eli a note. A note? Oh, I was quite upset. Iām the one who leaves the notes. With all the work I do for everyone, Eli gets one and I donāt? I left that morning quite upset. I continued to be upset all morning.
That afternoon, I visited Eli for lunch and I didnāt see Paulās note. I asked Eli if he got it and read it. He said he did and he wrote back to Paul, and put the note in his backpack to give to Paul when we got home. That was so sweet of Eli. I now was upset with myself!
On the way back to my room, all I could think about was how my sweet little boy was thinking of others and I was too busy being selfish and thinking about myself. Instead of getting upset about not getting a note, I should have thought about Paul and slipped him a note.
When I got to my room and opened my lunch I saw this note. Paul and Eli wrote to me and slipped it in my lunch without me noticing. Iām terrible. I was so upset ALL morning for nothing. I need to learn from Eli and have his positive attitude and kind spirit at all times.
