A lesson in caring (Passages page 25)




Homework.... A lesson in caring.

1. In what way do you think the author and his daughter benefited for the visits?

They may be benefited by having the opportunity to share with other people that is real needed not just with friends or the ones they love. They also can see that they have the same feelings for others and see that there are bigger problems and needs than the ones we think we have.

2. What do you think motivated the author to begin doing volunteer work?

His daughter motivated him, because she seems to be more sensible than the father noticing what was happening with the man.

3. Would you consider the author a hero? Why or why not?

Yes, I think he was a hero, because as soon as he saw the article in the newspaper, he decided to participate with his daughter, so he was going to be a model to her daughter showing her these principles. And even when he did'nt feel to go, instead of staying at home on Sunday, enjoying his coffee and newspaper, he did it.

I think this example may show us that we always have to thank God for all what we have, instead of being wishing all what we don't have. And we may see that we have the opportunity to give, to share, to help, etc. Because I think it's better to give than to receive.
