Today I was surprised by an act of kindness. While checking out at a pet store, the clerk asked if I had a rewards card. I did not, so the man behind me offered to let me use his card. He saved me twelve dollars on my purchase.
At Christmas time, I got off from work to find a card on my windshield. When I opened it up, there was a five dollar bill inside. No one signed it. It was a act of kindness from a stranger. I will never know who did this, but it did brightened up my day.
I tried once many years ago to brighten up a friend in secret. She made home made Easter candy for her children and hide it in the oven, Her husband turn the oven on not knowing that the candy was inside and melted it into one big glob of chocolate.
After she told me about it, I got my cousins to help me out and we each brought in candy to church the next morning and places them in bags for her three sons. We did not leave any names, just our love and prayers. She did figure it out later.
With all the news about wars and killings it is nice to know that there are people out there who are willing to still do random acts of kindness. I plan on trying everyday.
