My little brother has Down Syndrome.
When he sees something wrong in the world,
he automatically wants to try and fix it the best he knows how.
It might just be a sock dropped on the floor, or an adult in tears,
but He wants more than anything to help make things right.

I would just look at the sock my mom dropped on her way to do laundry.
"Nice sock... Not my problem, and I'm too busy right now. She'll find it later."
My brother, though, he'll jump up, grab the sock, and race after my mom.
He'll waste no time in calling downstairs as loudly and clearly as he possibly can,
"Mommy dear, missing sock!!! Come back, Mooommmmmy deeaaaarr!"
~
I would just watch a grown man or woman cry in church about some difficult situation.
"Not my problem. I don't know what to do or say. Someone else will take care of it."
My little brother, he'll go and put his arm around that person, and give them a hug.

Maybe. . . just maybe, he has got it right? Maybe we can learn something from him?
