a group of Men and a young boys took the time to notice a little boy with Different abilities,
我看到一群玩沙滩足球的小伙子和小孩子们,他们停下比赛,看着一个身体有残疾的小孩子
waving his arms in the air saying, my turn, me, me
小孩子在半空中挥舞着胳膊,喊着,该我了,该我了
as the football was being tossed around over his head.
由于一只足球刚从他的头顶飞了过去
Honestly, my first thought was
诚实的说,我的第一个想法是
oh man they are playing football ,
噢天呐,他们在玩沙滩足球
I'm going to have to go move Micah .
我要让我的儿子Micah躲开
I called Micah from my chair 50 ft away
我躺在长椅里叫Micah的名字,他离我大概50英尺的距离
and he was refusing to come!
没想到他不想到我这里来
He just continued to watch the ball being tossed ,
他就想看着那只足球被抛来抛去listening to the fun laughter of the Guys,
听着他们欢欣的笑声and watching the High fives they were swapping.
看着他们击掌庆祝These are the moments that I dread.
可是这类时候都让我十分惊恐These are the moments
每到此时I have to make choices
我都心慌意乱to choose good thought, not bad ones!
努力让自己往好的方面想,而不是坏的方面But today something incredible happened!

脸上容光焕发Then,
接着one man actually took the time
真的有一个人停下and bent down
弯下腰and showed Micah how to hold the football and throw it !
告诉Micah怎么样握球,怎么样把球抛出去Micah played for a good 20 minutes with these Hero's
Micah跟这群英雄们足足玩了20分钟,欢乐无比as I will call them!
我以后还会联系他们!We are all connected,
大家互换了联系方法it's so easy for us to get so caught
大家时常被束缚in being politically correct,
要举止礼貌得体minding our own business,
要第一管好我们的事not thinking of simple Acts of kindness,
却没想过做一些容易的善举acceptance,
没想过接纳善意and love for others!
没想过爱别人May I always look around me,
愿我常常环顾左右and be willing to include the outsider,
愿我打开心扉,接纳陌生人the differently abled.
接纳独一无二者Hero's come in many forms,
世界上有非常多种英雄and these Men and young man are my hero's today!!
今天,这群小伙和男生就是我的英雄The best Beach day ever!
