Random Acts of Kindness. They happen every
day. Sometimes we
are so busy and caught up in our own lives we may not see them. We may
not realize how manyand how often these wonderful random acts of kindness
happen throughout any given day.
But, if you just slow down for a minute... just one tiny moment and
think about it, I am sure you can recount a single act of kindness from
just today alone. Some acts are huge, generous and very noticeable
while others are small and can sometimes go unnoticed until we really
focus.
There is a woman I interact with on a weekly basis. She
is in her
seventies and I consider her a dear friend. Every Tuesday she goes to
the video store to rent a movie (that is when the new releases come out
;). She gets to keep the movie for a week. She watches that movie on
Thursday night without fail. Then, on Friday morning she gives me the
movie to watch before it's due. She offers a recap, a review and let's
me know if it is appropriate for my son to watch.
She does this every week. I never asked her to share her movie, it's
just something she does for me. What a very nice thing to do. I try to
let her know how much I appreciate it but I wonder if she truly knows
how special I think it is.
