I used to think that everyday heroes was synonymous with policemen, firemen, teachers, doctors and nurses and caretakers.
During the last few weeks I have become aware of other heroes...people battling disease while trying hard to maintain a "normal" happy daily life. Families who are dealing with the grief over the death of a loved one. Families doing the best they can to make ends meet. People who have lost their job and try again. Those that have little hope, the homeless and destitute show bravery everyday when they have the courage to face another day.
Every day there are people who play the role of hero in people's lives without even knowing it. A smile, a compliment, words of encouragement all can make a tremendous difference in a person's life.
Who are hereos in your life?
