Inspiration Moment 
	____________________________________________________________________
The Little Red Wagon
My friend Gayle has been "living" with cancer for four years and it is
progressively getting worse. During a conversation with another friend,
Gayle expressed that one of her childhood wishes was to have a red Radio
Flyer wagon. As a child she never received one because she believed that if
you told your birthday wish it wouldn't come true. I was at an ice cream
stand one day and in the window was a miniature red Radio Flyer wagon that
could be won in a weekly drawing. Every time you made a purchase you could
fill out a ticket for a chance to win. After several weeks and many ice
cream cones, I didn't win. I got up the courage to ask the person in charge
if I could buy one. I went to the window and as I began to tell my story, I
could feel my throat tighten and my eyes overflowed with tears. Somehow I
managed to explain my reason for wanting to purchase the wagon, and after
writing a check, I left carrying it. The wagon was delivered the next day,
and for Gayle it was a dream come true. The following day I received a
letter that read:
Dear Bonnie,
Every once in a while there is an opportunity to pass on a kindness - no
questions asked. I lost my parents to cancer six months apart from each
other. I cared for both of them but could not have done it without the love
and generosity of friends - friends who care.
The best to you, 
Norma 
It was from the owner of the ice cream stand. Enclosed was my uncashed
check.

I believe you can get everything in life you want if you will just help 
enough other people to get what they want.
