Coco Calling No.330: Unsung Heroes

I’ve decided that it’s time for me to come clean. Because there’s a mysterious woman in my life. Yes, -a human woman rather than a hen Senegal parrot. And I know very little about this human woman, other than that her name is Kriszti. You see, week after week I write these blogs, and then I simply send them off to Kriszti who performs some strange sorcery which ‘pings’ them off to my readers. I haven’t got a clue how she does it, or why, for that matter, she should want to do it. But Kriszti comes up trumps every time. And what makes Kriszti all the more mysterious is that she doesn’t live in our village. She does even live in our country. No, she’s on some far-flung block of land called ‘Canada.’ Our unlikely partnership has been running for eight years, so I’ve finally decided that it’s time for her to receive some Senegal Parrot credit. Because without her, my blogs wouldn’t work. So, there she is, at the top of this blog, smiling in her full glory, and finally getting some limelight.

And it’s the Kriszti’s of our world that make a real difference. The folk that do things for others in a kind of selfless act. I’m sure that there’s lots of them dotted about on different lands around the world, -all working hard for others, without being seen or acknowledged. And the more of them there are, the better place our world will be….

“God is preparing His heroes. And when the opportunity comes, He can fit them into their places in a moment. And then the world will wonder where they came from.”           

(A.B. Simpson: [1843-1919]: Canadian preacher, theologian and author).

“Here’s to the

bridge-builders, 

the hand-holders,

the light-bringers,                                                         

those extraordinary souls                                                 

wrapped in ordinary lives

who quietly weave threads

of humanity into an

inhumane world.

They are the unsung heroes in a

world at war with itself.”

(L.R. Knost: [DOB unknown]: Current American author of parenting books, and current Editor-in-Chief of the Holistic Parenting Magazine.)

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or in vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own  interests, but also to the interests of others.”                                               (Philippians 2: 3-4).
