This song was inspired by my brother, Gordon’s, generosity. We grew up at a mining camp where our father was superintendent. We were fairly poor, but didn’t realize it since everyone around us was fishing out of the same boat.
When Gordon found success in real estate, land development, and construction, he opened his heart to those in the small town where we lived and began giving turkeys to less-fortunate families and bikes to kids in schools. (Getting a bike at Christmas was a huge deal when we were young.) For several years, he’s given 48 turkeys and 50 bikes away.
He also began supporting teachers with funds to be used in any way they felt best to help their students; some did not even have coats or shoes. Furthermore, he is known and appreciated at the local coffee shop for buying someone’s coffee or other drink daily!
My brother and I decided to expand his generosity to other towns in Douglas County, which total 15. We are in the process implimenting “One Kind Thought,” a non-profit aimed at helping underprivileged kids and families in Douglas County.
Please enjoy the song and consider brightening someone’s day with a smile, a kind work, or perhaps a cup of hot coffee. Enjoy.
