Stories to Light Our Way

Introduction:
We are all fellow travelers, young and old alike, on the path of how to be good. Each story is like a journey. They can carry us to far-away places, places where special people live, and special things happen. But the most special place is in our hearts. And when we connect with the light in our hearts we can learn how to brighten our whole world and make our world the most special place.
