Walking to a diner to get a bite to eat with my husband, we saw a man sitting on the sidewalk asking for money. My husband gave him a fiver. It was cold outside so as we were walking in, I turned back and asked the gentleman if I could bring him a coffee. He said yes please and told me how he liked it. I brought it out to him with a blueberry muffin. Didn’t think any more about it.

I have to share about a kindness that was extended to me this morning. This morning I went to church by myself because my boys both work, my daughter had a church Halloween trip last night that got back LATE, and my husband has had a 3-day headache. No worries. I don’t mind going alone. Sometimes it’s preferred as it allows me to really focus and pray and y’all, my heart needed some focus after this past week.

To the woman at the St Charles Aldi on 5th St. You are a true blessing!
I was checking out and my card got declined (so embarrassing!) and I told the worker I need to put a few things back and she wasn’t very happy about that. I apologized 5 more times. She then says “yeah that’s why I tell people not to shop on Sunday’s”. I was so upset, started crying because I cannot believe how RUDE people truly are.

I have been visiting my mom in the state I used to live in…Texas!
I took her to brunch a couple of days ago and we had the sweetest waitress. We ordered some specialty lattes and some crepes. At one point, the waitress said we were the nicest people she had waited on that day. Anyhow, she did a great job of spoiling us and even asked if we wanted refills on our lattes just before we left.

There’s a homeless-looking guy who stands on a corner that I pass nearly every workday. I’ve started packing an extra orange and as I pull forward in my orange car, I hold my arm out the window and put it in his hand as a glide by. Sometimes I add a dollar. It’s not much, but maybe he appreciates it. – Sharon
It’s unclear whether this is a true story or not, but to be honest, I don’t really care. It’s a beautiful tradition that I hope many other families adopt after they read this inspirational story. Enjoy!
“For the Man Who Hated Christmas”
by Nancy W. Gavin
I was filling my car up with gas a few days ago and noticed a man with a red gas can sitting in the roof of his car and he was on the phone. He looked pretty forlorn. I filled my car up but kept being pulled back to this man. He was off to the side and not by a pump. I finished with my car then walked over to ask if he needed gas. He was embarrassed and said yes. I told him to pull his car over to the pumps and I’d fill his tank. I walked over to the pumps waiting. His car wouldn’t start. He came over with the little two-gallon red can and told me he had literally coasted on to the lot and his car was completely empty.

Yesterday, as my partner and I were finishing our lunch at a restaurant, a young man approached us. He was a bit embarrassed to disturb us but gave us a voucher to help pay for our lunch! The voucher was valid until today and he said he wouldn’t be using it.
