Ted Williams is everywhere today. And why not. His story resonates with us. We all love a story where the underdog gets a second chance or where the underdog makes it BIG. He is getting several job offers and offers of homes. I hope Ted makes the most of his opportunity and I hope his sudden fame does not cause him to crash.
As I listened to all of the interviews with this 53 year-old homeless man, one thing in particular resonated with me. He asked us all to not view the homeless with our usual stereotypes. He asked us to not judge a book by it's cover. He asked us to be charitable to the less fortunate. It sounds so easy, yet I believe it is so hard.
I want to be more charitable with my time and money. I want to not view people with such a critical eye. I want to accept people for who they are on the inside, not what they look like on the outside. I hope and pray I can take Ted's advice this year.
Thanks for the reminder Ted Williams. Good luck and God Bless!
