Random acts of kindness !!

I won’t burden you with the negative things that have been happening in my life.  It has been a rough week!!  However, today, I had such a blessing I must share the details with you.  I had visited my chiropractor and, totally unplanned, went to a nearby restaurant for brunch.  (The establishment is called The Flying Biscuit and they serve a delicious “veggie scramble.”)  Because there is “only one of me” I usually sit at the counter.  There was a gentleman sitting nearby and he struck up a conversation with me.  He seemed genuinely interested in “this old lady” and I shared my heartache with him.  At his departure he offered encouragement and best wishes.  THEN, the waitress told me he paid for my meal.  “No, no, he didn’t need to do that!!”  I rushed to the parking lot and found him just before he drove away.  I expressed my gratitude.  ~~  Random acts of kindness!!

Remember the 2007 movie titled Evan Almighty?  I rarely go to movies but went to this one because it had a Noah’s Ark theme.  Morgan Freeman played God and (near the end of the film) traced three letters on the ground: ARK.  It stands for Acts of Random Kindness.

    What about the saying “what goes around, comes around?” I know someone who recently thought someone miles away could use an item they had, and went to the trouble of taking it to the Post Office and mailing it to them….maybe not so random, but certainly most kind.
