As this is the time of givinig, I wanted to share a beautiful story with all of you. Click here and scroll to the second story titled, 15-Year-Old Shoplifter Grinned in Court After He Stole From a Store — But What Happened Next Left Him Speechless. It does take a few minutes to read but it is wonderful example how much of an influence each of us can have on another person.
