There is a little sign in George Bailey’s office. I think it’s on the wall near his father’s portrait. Today’s quote is on that sign.
George could have become a millionaire investing in plastics. An idea he gave to his buddy, Sam Wainwright. George decided to continue to follow the example his father taught him. To help people in need, to help his community.
We learn from the examples our parents teach us.
I wonder if those Fathers out in Elmhurst nurtured bullies just like their fathers did before them. Many of us would love to bump into Mr. York in the pisser at Doc’s in Elmhurst. More importantly, all of us would want to hold the special needs child bullied last week at York High School.
Be a George Bailey everyday and someday the time will come when the whole community reaches out on a day of need….
