An Act of Kindness

Kindness is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.

I met this woman a couple of weeks ago.  Our time together was not long and was busy...maybe a half hour to an hour.  And I think we may have only spent about 1/4 of our time talking.  We were at an event for the shelter and I found out she has been volunteering there for quite some time, but our paths never crossed until a few weeks ago.  As were talking I had mentioned about my work with the troops (go figure, right) and how I make them cards to send home to their families plus the fact that I make cards for the shelter as well.  I had just finished a major project that week that I had with me and showed it to her.....she seemed to be impressed by my work.  This kind lady said, "I started to get into scrapbooking, but I never really used the stuff I got," and she told me she would drop it off at the shelter for me one day since she knew I would use it."  I told her that would be wonderful and I could always use it for the troops and the shelter cards.   Last Saturday when Joe and I were at the shelter I received all the stuff she had and it is a nice amount.  I can't believe the kindness this person has shown me and the amount of stuff that she gave to someone she barley knew.  I hope to cross paths with her again.  The world could use more kindness.

Thank you.

There is so much stuff all piled underneath the stuff on top.

Generosity

Sometimes in life you meet generous people.  Yesterday I received this donation for Operation Gratitude.  My heart is grateful for this donation.
