Down Home: Listen to Dalton Roberts’ podcast about how we draw our own circle in life.
By Dalton Roberts
Let me tell you a short story that will make you feel better about helping Haiti or any little things you are sometimes able to do for people.
When my mother’s health broke she said to me, “Son, I want you to do something for me. It may not seem to you to be a big thing, but it will be a big thing to me.”
She went on to tell me how a girl was disowned by a man in her family because he thought she was the result of his wife’s adultery. Bacause the father disowned her, others in the family took no interest in her. Mother decided that there was no such thing as an illegitimate child. With her Cherokee eyes flashing, she said, “There may be illegitimate parents whose behavior is unworthy, but all children are beautiful and worthy.”
