Tia’s Random Acts of Kindness
We received two lovely messages why two of the Random Acts of Kindness we’d given had meant so much.

Ensure to be kind
Recently I went for a walk around my local neighbourhood to enjoy a little fresh air and enjoy a spot of sunshine. During my walk, I came across a gorgeous little bucket filled with lemons hanging from a fence. ‘Help yourself’ was written on the bucket inviting anyone walking by to enjoy. Immediately I thought…
I was meant to help them
On a cold Friday evening, I was dropping my son at basketball training, when I spotted this couple with luggage. They were stopping every couple of steps and the man was more or less carrying the woman.
A small gesture
When I was in second grade I often dealt with a bully from another class. The next year he apologized and said it was because he was jealous of my ‘boyfriend’ who by then had moved on.
A lesson in compassion
I witnessed a young homeless man and his dog crossing the road during a red light. A guy in a big SUV became outraged and tried to make it look like he was going to hit him and did, in fact, come close to hitting the dog. The homeless man was definitely a little intoxicated. He…
Touched by kindness
I was in a HEB (in San Antonio, Texas) the other day and I nearly passed out in the store (I’ve been very ill — I have a chronic illness). The cashier while I was waiting to check out was super, I told her I was about to pass out, she got me a chair…
Strangers rippling kindness
I went shopping today; I hadn’t wanted to go alone because it can be pretty difficult when you’re on crutches, but I didn’t have any help so used a driving cart.
True kindness
I work at Dollar Tree and we have been asking customers if they would be interested in purchasing school supplies for our local schools for just a dollar. Lots of people have their reasons why they can’t donate, like, “I already give to our church” or, “I am sick of being asked for my money”.
Thank God for people like him
A few years ago after a particularly hard day at work, I took my car to Costco because the battery needed replacing.
Our giving will touch her in a positive way
This past week my 10-year-old granddaughter and I have given to a man standing on the road holding a sign that says “hungry”. She handed him the 5 bucks. We then talked about hunger and how terrible it would be to be hungry and have no food or money to buy food. Then we went…
His wife was in tears
The day of your passing, I was sitting in MedExpress waiting for my X-rays to be put on a disc before I went to work at Costco in Winchester. There was an older couple sitting in the waiting area with me. The wife went to the check-in window and the staff gave her a hard time…
Kindness can change us to our very core
I’m a single foster mom and up until last week had 3 siblings in my home for a year. I don’t have any biological children, so having 3 at once, was a huge change for me. But the kindness shown to be my friends and others who I met over this last year has blown…
