A double act of kindness
This is a double act of kindness. My neighbour gave me the washing line out of his backyard because I didn’t have one in mine. He even dug the hole and cemented the washing line into the ground for me.
Stories of Kindness
On cloud nine!
Went to see Russell Brand last year and caught a taxi. The driver asked why we were going, so we told him that the kids had bought the tickets to make us laugh after my husband’s brain cancer diagnosis.
Love of a granddaughter
My granddaughter Taylah went to withdraw 100 dollars from my bank for me. On returning she handed me the money. When she had gone, her mum Deb told me it was Taylah’s money. I said she cannot do that and Deb said ÿes she can. I was embarrassed but accepted gracefully. I love you Taylah and…
Kindness at Subway
It’s no real big secret that restaurants have a time limit for disposing food that has been prepared and displayed. Most places just throw out the excess and guard the disposal like it’s gold.
The best teacher!
Rebecca Fowler was my 2nd grade teacher. She was a kind lady who seemed very old to my 7-year-old self. She taught me kindness in every action that she took. She is the first adult I remember reading aloud to me, giving me a love of reading that exists to today. She also taught me…
A circle of kindness
I’d arranged to meet a new friend for a cuppa and chat. As luck would have it, we both pulled our cars into parking spaces outside the cafe at the same time. As we greeted one another, I commented on a rather unusual brooch she was wearing. Merryn told me that she’d admired it on…
A chance to start living again
When I was in my twenties I lived in GA and we lived on the military base there. Every morning we would see a few homeless people on the streets. We had stopped and given them money and something to drink (coke, water, Dr. pepper, lemonade), whatever we had with us. I looked into their eyes…
He’d save the world!
My son has always wanted to save all of the people that were unfortunate not to have a home or even a meal. Many times my son has picked up a homeless person and taken him to breakfast and given him some cash.Â
Great morals being taught at school
In Assembly today, our new Principal spoke about the school motto of always doing your best, and being kind and helpful to everyone we meet. He spoke further about doing Acts of Kindness and how my son’s class in particular, had welcomed a new student into the grade so warmly and have gone out of…
We rise by lifting the people around us
This year marks the ten-year celebration of me graduating high school. While the time has certainly passed, the memories that most linger are not of all the homework and tests that were taken, but of the people who at one point made up my entire world. Growing up, and even still now, I have the…
The joy of giving
A long time ago, back in high school, when it was Christmas time, my best friend at the time called me one day crying because they had no money for presents. Their electricity, gas and phone were always being shut off. She had two younger brothers and her mom (a single mom) had been crying…
An Inspirational Child
Hello, my son, Joseph is a 15-year-old boy with Autism. He was diagnosed at the age of two when there wasn’t enough awareness like there is today, and still in need of more! He is bright, pretty verbal, friendly, funny, lovable, and my inspiration! He inspires me, and so many others that have entered his life!…
