good people

Just in case anyone was wondering, there really are good people left in this world. Today, we woke up from our Sunday nap and Carter kept saying that he wanted to see a horsey. So we jumped in the car and drove just outside our neighborhood where there's a bunch of people with a little land and horses. We drove past a few houses with horses and then stopped at this one because these two guys had a few horses out and saddled and they were working with them so we thought it would be fun to put the kids in the back of the car and let them watch out the back window. So Carter keeps yelling "hi horsey! come here horsey!" over and over, and the guy came over. So Craig says, "don't mind us, he's just a little obsessed with horses so we told him we'd come show him one." So the guy asks if the kids want to come pet them, and then after they pet them he asks if they want to go for a little ride. So he put Carter up on the horse, and walked him around in a circle a couple times, and then he put Hannah up on and did the same. The kids were literally elated. And I couldn't believe how kind this guy was. He didn't even know us from Adam, this goofy little family who stops on the side of the road just so our kids could see some horses, he could have just ignored us, and yet he took the time to come over and show them to us and then let our kids go for a little ride. It took him maybe 5 minutes, but it seriously made their week. There really are good people out there.

That is so refreshing to hear. It reminds me of President Hinkley and his positive outlook!!!

I'm grateful for good people. Some people don't even realize how they can make (or break) someones day. I hope I can be someone who is as aware of my surroundings as those people who owned the horses!
