People give from the heart in many ways. Some stand up for the powerless and oppressed in the world. Some minister to the sick and heartbroken. But no one is more important than those people who connect with their neighbors directly from the heart, who make people feel welcomed and understood, who create a space of kindness and warmth. You are that kind of person. Your store is a warm haven in a cold, commercial world. Children feel safe and happy there. Adults enjoy simply connecting with you and then going about their business feeling a little better about their neighborhood.
Congratulations!
