A 6 year old with a generous heart.
. I was in a supermarket one day and saw a Mum trying to juggle her young baby and the trolley. It was winter so the seat was cold and the baby cried if she tried to put him in the seat.

Wave and make our day project.
. Earlier today my friend Jade and I went for a walk and we got tired so we sat down on the sidewalk. Then we decided to wave at people and make them wonder who we are for the rest of the day! After we started waving people started waving back at us so I…
Thank you for your service.
. In 2008 my daughter and I had to go out of town for a doctor’s appointment. We were up before the birds and on a bus before the sun was up. I had been so worried we would miss the bus I didn’t even bother with coffee that morning. When we entered the building that…
He told me I was doing an amazing job!
. My two year old boy was throwing the biggest tantrum ever while in the shopping centre because I had been taking time to add up the cost of everything on the list (wasn’t sure if I had enough money).
We all have a need at some stage of life.
. My young boys and I were shopping recently and noticed a scruffy fellow pacing the isles counting coins in his hands and picking up items and putting them back. He was in total despair.
The Rainbow Lady
. I used to work for a printing company and when I’d walk through the plant to my office, I’d greet the “ink” lady. She had bottles of different colored inks behind her on the shelf. I told her she was lucky because she got to work with a rainbow every day. One day during…
Share a Meal
. I have recently become a volunteer at Ronald McDonald Houses here in Central Florida. Having three teenagers, it’s become increasingly important to me to expose them to opportunities to give back through various acts of kindness. I have been purposefully doing things independent of them, and because it has now become inherent in me,…
A lesson for my seven year old
. I was at the supermarket with my seven year old checking out. An older man was in front of us clearly struggling to work his food card. Once he got it to work, the cashier said “Sir, you don’t have enough money for the transaction.” The man didn’t understand what was going on. I…
I’ll race ya!
. I was in Walmart, tired and hurting, and had just checked out and was heading for the door. There was a woman who had also just checked out at a register closer to the door. She looked like I felt! She pulled her cart over and got her keys out of her purse. Our…
He never even asked for it.
. My mother-in-law freaked out today when I got us lost in an area that is not really very safe. I was pretty sure I was going in the direction I needed, I just had to go further than I thought. So at the next light, I pulled up beside the next car and rolled…
Made me laugh all the way home!
. A few years ago I had stopped for milk at the local corner store bringing with me my friend’s two year old boy who I’d babysit. As I was at the checkout paying, a couple of young teenage boys entered the store. I paid and left the store, buckled in the toddler and as…
Her nine year old thought it was a blessing
. I had my two boys with me yesterday while I did my grocery shopping. Our supermarkets are offering a Collector Cards promotion where you get 1 pack of card for every $20 you spend. My boys were given 30 packs of cards from my own purchases, plus 2 other ladies who didn’t want their…
