It was over a century ago and the older man was carrying a heavy suitcase in one hand and even heavier valise in the other.
And with every step it was becoming heavier. As he walked from the terminal down 42nd street, on his way to a hotel his breathing was becoming more pronounced.
He had always been blessed with good
strength. Perhaps his age was catching up with him.
“Booker,” Booker T. Washington said to himself, “you can make it.”
“Booker,” Booker T. Washington said to himself, “you can make it.”
Just at
that moment, a pleasant voice said, “Pretty heavy, brother! Suppose you let me
take it. I’m going your way.”
The black man resisted but
finally allowed the young white man to assist him carrying his burden and for
several blocks they chatted like old friends.”
“And
that,” said Book T. Washington, born a slave, one of the new leaders of
Tuskegee, “was the first time I ever met Theodore Roosevelt.”
What a wonderful story about Teddy Roosevelt…and his
attitude of love and humility…born to wealth…becoming President of these United
States...by passing the prejudice of his
day.

Someone has said, “Hate is so powerful an acid, that it destroys the vessel in which it is stored, even more than those upon whom it is poured.”
And love neutralizes this acid called hate and produces kindness and concern and prejudices dies before it…

We all have stories that could be told about us. Good, bad and indifferent.
How many such stories could be told about you…about me? What kind of stories indeed?
“We love because he first loved us.” (I John 4:19).
