Raised in an orphanage, among others with
little to own; Lucas was different from all others, he had a dream. He knew he
would leave one day and see the world. These dreams kept Lucas going and he
promised to return to the orphanage to give back.
The future arrived and Lucas' dream became even
bigger; he made himself a good and happy life, surrounding himself with
thankful and decent people and soon he thought of ways of showing gratitude to
where he was coming from.
The orphanage had given him hope, though
not the perfect childhood, but a sense of belonging. Lucas thought he would
give the orphanage the life he gave his own children; teachers who loved
children and a playground, lots of books and colors, birthday parties for every
child and an excursion to his home every thanksgiving where he installed an
amusement park just for the children.
The orphanage was grateful but not as much
as Lucas was. He made sure he was the last child to leave the orphanage with an
eagerness to grow up. The children will never be in a hurry to grow up with all
the support Lucas had put in.
What way do you think you can show gratitude
to your past?
