Maybe you have experienced the kindness of others. Relate that story to us.

My students had a surprise birthday party for me last year. They were so excited, and I think it was a good deed they should be proud of.

Once, when my husband & I were in college, we were so poor, we didn't know how we were going to buy our son (who was almost 2) anything for Christmas. I signed him up for one of those wishing tree things, where someone picks a kids name and gets him a present.

I went to go pick up his gift, and the organizers apologized to me, because whoever picked his name, didn't buy him anything. I was devastated, and that night at work I had a little cry and told a co-worker.

That Sunday the entire staff surprised me by giving my family a bunch of gift cards, presents for my son, and a present for my husband and I. They even got something for our cats!

It was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.

A few years ago, I lost my corporate job and faced a few hurdles after that. I was given a wish list to fill out by my son's school. The funny thing is I was reluctant to fill out and just ended up asking for a twin bed for my little one.

A couple of days before Christmas, I was given a call by Sleepy's. They informed me that an anonymous donor had purchased a twin bed for us! I could not believe it! I was completely baffled by the generosity and kindness that was showed to my family & I.
Throughout the years, I've been very fortunate to have been showed an enormous amount of kindness and generosity. I am doing my best to reciprocate and "be the change I want to see in the world."

Have a nice weekend.

When I was a teenager, I didnt like my smile because my teeth were not straight and all my friends had straight teeth which made me more uncomfortable. One day, my best friend and I were waitiing for the bus and as the bus arrived, my friend and I were discussing a funny situation and I starting to laugh really hard and a woman stepped off the bus and she, "Great Smile". That comment started the foundation of loving myself and I will be forever greatful to that woman.

About a year ago, a dentist called my to do work for him. He wanted me to draw all of the homes he and his wife lived in .About (6) along with the building that his practice is in. After I delivered the last house, he said to me that the Lord has given me a great talent and that I should think about how to use it. He really didn't have any ideas, but said that I should pray on it. So far the only thing I could think, at the time, was to donate a sketch of someone's home to the raffle at our church Holiday Bazaar. A couple of weeks ago I called him around 8:30 on a Friday night to let know what I did.
He asked me if I could come into his office right then and there. I said I could and did. He said he was going to give me a smile. You see I had teeth pulled a few years with the intention of having new ones put but around that time the economy took a nose dive, most of my customers went out of business and so I have to forget about new teeth. I have gone about 5 yrs. and was always conscience of the couple of missing teeth in the front of all places. I went to his office that night and he took a mold and 2 weeks later I have some new teeth. All of this was done for FREE. It was $5,000.00 worth of work. No one has ever given anything like that to me or my family. God sent an angel.
Hopefully I can come up with some ideas on how to help others the way I was helped.
Hope I wasn't too lengthy.
Have a blessed day,
Joe

Once, when i was working in a public school in Florida, there was a little girl i had worked with, trying to teach her to read. one day, she came to school and handed me a small paper bag. she said, "miss mary, this is for you." as i opened the bag i saw a peach inside, she said to me, "i hope you don't mind but it was such a beautiful peach, and i was so hungry, i just had to take a bite. hope you don't mind." inside was the most perfect gift another person had ever given me, a peach with one bite taken. thank you dearest, sweet Tiffany!

I remember back when I was in High School. I was had such a terrible cold/fever that I could barely walk out of bed. When my boyfriend called, I told him I was really sick. He showed up minutes later with the nightquil and portridge. That really made me feel so much better just knowing that someone cares so much. Of course we got married after college and he is my husband now.
