There is a man from my hometown that seems to be walking magic to my children. They only see him at Church but every time they do see him he is smiling and he gives them a "gold" coin! In reality it is a one dollar golden coin but you can't get Trey Sellers to believe that it is not a gold doubloon! He is convinced that this man is a pirate and has untold treasures buried somewhere in his yard. This gentleman gives every child at church one of these coins but he makes them feel like they are special. I love kindness. I love people who are kind. If there is a trait that I hope to horde it is that. Stanford Tillman is one of those people that I hope to one day be. He is one of those people that when you meet him and walk away all you can think is "Wow. What a nice guy." More importantly he is ALWAYS this way. I have seen people who put on their "Sunday Face" and appear kind and benevolent and then walk out the door and revert to a completely different persona. Mr. Tillman lives his "Sunday Face". Every time that I run into him I can promise you two things. One: He will be smiling. Two: His conversation will center around how you are doing and how he is so proud of what you are doing. I believe that he is checking on his "investments". He vests himself in others. From a one dollar coin to a one minute conversation he invests in the people around him. He cares about people . . . . and it shows. I believe that there is a special place in Heaven for people like him. He is such a blessing to me.
