Hmmm, I am not sure if this qualifies for a random act of kindness, but… My DDs have a friend who is moving to Texas. My DD16 has been friends with him for over 7 years. We threw a surpise going away party for him. He was very surprised!

Last week we had a Valentines dinner at church. I knew Dh and I wouldn’t be there since we were going out of town to friends. When it came time for donation to help offset the costs for those attending. I paid for someone who wouldn’t be able to afford it. I told the pastor after church to let a young couple who couldn’t afford the dinner to go in our place.

I loved the quote by Helen Keller. It is perfect. My most recent random act of kindness involved purchasing a ticket to an entertainment venue for a friend of one of my children. His family couldn’t afford to take him and since we were going, we took him with us and purchased his meal and ticket to the show.

Bumplett, I find coupons for things I need all the time at the grocery store! I never thought they might have been placed there on purpose. I am going to do this now too! I enjoy finding them, so I can only imagine that others would too. I bring extra bags with me to a grocery store that doesn’t bag your items for you. I hand out my extra bags when I see people need them. I always get a smile and a thank you, it warms my heart to the core! I hope this isn’t a selfish act, because I get such satisfaction from it.

this may seem silly, but my most common random act of kindness would be that I will leave a good coupon on top of an item in the grocery store for someone else to use - or if I see that someone has an item in their cart that I have a coupon for & I’m not going to use it, I’ll give it to them -

The random act of kindness in itself, gives you a sense of peace in your inner soul. I love a raok when you don’t know who the giver is. My last raok was at a car wash in the town I live in. There was a young man,probably just 16 and just a beginner driver, that had just finished washing his truck and it wouldn’t start. There were all kind of people around and no one offered to help this young man. Being the “girl scout” as prepared thing…ofcourse I had jumper cables. So I went over and popped the hood on my car and jumped his truck. I think he was amazed more that anything that I was a girl and knew how to use jumper cables, but he offered to pay me and I told me that I would want someone to help my child and that he should do something nice to help someone else today and that would be my payment. I have since seen this young man in town and he always waves or ackowledges me in some way. So as the old saying goes…”A hundred years from now, no one will care how much money you had in the bank, or what kind of house you lived in or what kind of car you drove, but if you can make the different in the life of a child, your journey has been worthwhile”…Blessings to you Sara…Love your blogs..Kathy aka nwmissourigal
