I am always amazed at people who are called 'heroes' any more. Mainly its a tag given to sports figures. But trust me when I say that real heroes walk among us everyday. Usually they accomplish deeds that go with little fanfare.
The following article will set the tone for the people you are about to meet each week. Enjoy their stories and appreciate in some cases their sacrifice for others.
"Uncommon heroes are like you and me.
We meet them at work, in the grocery store, on a busy street.
They come in all shapes and sizes, we only have to look around us.
Uncommon heroes have attitude.
They may be the stranger who rescues a teenager from a wrecked car,
or the next door neighbor fighting a battle of cancer,
or the lady who lives down the road, struggling to re-learn after a brain injury.
They have a ready smile in spite of their pain.
They never complain and always think positively.
They never give up and do not let others give up either.
They have great vision, no handicap, no obstacle can keep them from pursuing their dreams.
They care alot about people in their community.
They always say, "I know what you are going through."
They have an indomitable spirit and great strength.
They have an incredible faith and courage.
They take pleasure in performing small acts of kindness rather than in great intentions.
They look for the best and give the best they have.
They inspire us to carry on when things go wrong.
Uncommon heroes are people who touch our lives,
and leave footprints on our hearts that change our lives forever.
