Every once in a while I am touched by an experience that I feel compelled to share.  I know that by sharing such experiences it will inspire others to step out of themselves and be a part of something big.
My wife and I spent a weekend in San Diego recently.  While we were on a date, we were walking around in Balboa Park.  As we were getting ready to cross the street leaving a parking lot we heard the thundering sound of motorcycles approaching.  A very distinct sound to me…not just  motorcycles, but Harley Davidson’s.  And not just one or two, but maybe fifteen to twenty were lining up, getting ready to caravan out of the park.  Being a Harley owner myself, I grabbed my camera to capture the moment when I noticed a lady walk up to the first guy on his bike, talk with him for a second and then she pointed across the parking lot where her family was standing.
Without hesitation the biker made a motion to his group and they all filed over to the curbside to line up in front of this family.  In the center of the family members was a wheelchair bound child with a severely debilitating physical handicap.  While this boy watched the group of Harley’s line up in front of him he beamed with excitement, his arms flailed as though he was ready to leap up and jump on the back of a bike.  In that moment, this child shined with energy like his every wish had just come true… and a lump weld up in my throat.  The mother got the photo that she had asked for and all the bikers waved to the boy and his family as they left the parking lot in formation.
These guys took less than five minutes from their day, from their drive, from their lives for a small thing….but it was HUGE in the eyes of this child, his family, and the other spectators like myself.  I applauded the gang as they drove off.  My heart was filled with gratitude for the unselfishness of these men in that moment.
I’d like to challenge you to make a difference today!  Do something, some little insignificant thing to one person, which might mean the world to another.  Why???  Because we CAN!

Let me hear about your stories!!!
