Random Acts of Kindness

I've heard it said many times, that random acts of kindness can change the world.  I try to remember that when I go about my day and usually succeed in flashing a bright smile or slowing down to allow someone else to pass me on the sidewalk. 

But this past week or so I noticed that I am the recipient of many such acts of kindness.

A friend returned from a trip overseas and brought a warm pair of fleece slacks back as an unexpected gift. 

A woman offered her front seat to Willie on the bus so we can sit together on the hour long ride to another city.

A bus driver drove us closer to our house, after he finished his night shift, so the long half an hour walk in the evening cold weather took only 10 minutes.

A security guard opened wide the door for me as I walked into the bank seeing that my hands were loaded with paper work.

People look for opportunities to be helpful, to be kind, and to be friendly.  I enjoy being on the receiving side of such acts.

36th day of Praise - Thank you God for putting in my path kind, friendly and helpful people; Thank you God for Random Acts of Kindness which enriche my daily walk

Smiling with delight,


Orith

And G-d;s heart delights in recognizing and receiving His provision...all those "random" acts that He worked so hard to organize!
