What if I gave you $3.27?

By Lynne Cory

What if we treated strangers like our family?

What if I saw the older generation as if they were my parents and grandparents and our generation as if they were my sisters and brothers and the younger generation as if they were my children and grandchildren?

Would we have a little more patience and compassion or offer help if we saw someone struggling and if we thought of them as a family member? If I saw a teenager short of a little money at the checkout line, would I ignore her if she was my granddaughter? Would I honk, impatiently, at an older driver if it was my grandfather?
