Stories behind the Stuff

I used to think this house was obscene. Clark Griswold unrestrained. Then I heard the story behind the lights. The family who lived there started this so their daughter could see the lights while in the hospital one Christmas. It’s amazing glow knowing the story behind something, having the context, gives something an entirely meaning.

How true is this also for people? What are the stories you don’t see. How could they change your experience of a person? What are the other questions you might need to ask yourself or those you lead?
