Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Let The Rain Reign


--by DanielSpeaks, posted Aug 19, 2016
I remember how hard and intense the rain fell in NYC one morning. It was as if pebbles were falling from the sky. I was walking to the supermarket and saw a little girl huddled under her moms arms, doing her best not to get wet. Our eyes met as her mom asked her to hold on as the light was about to turn red for them to walk across the street.

I was feeling grateful and all of a sudden the rain was a shower of help and health as opposed to a hindrance. I offered my umbrella to them and they were so overcome with the kindness that the mom offered me cash. I smiled and said "You keep the umbrella and give the cash to your daughter every time she gets good grades." The little girl jumped up and down and encouraged her mom to take the umbrella. She did, we smiled, I told them to have a good dry day and I walked into the supermarket.

I found the few ingredients I needed and noticed the line was the longest I had ever seen. The woman who was next saw that I had just a few items and offered her place. I smiled and thanked her and remembered Karma. I paid for my groceries and went home and cooked one of the best breakfasts for myself as I watched the beautiful blessings of rain outside my window. God, how I love kindness and will take and receive it everywhere I go.

I would buy umbrellas at marshalls/or any where they were on sale and give them to anyone we noticed needed one!

This is a very small act that offers so much.
