I was gifted earlier today with one of my most heart-warming, and sweet, peace dove experiences ever!
I was sitting quietly reading a new book I am loving, when chatter outside our door caught my attention It went on for a while, so, of course I just had to go out and investigate.
It was a young man going door-to-door selling window installations. As he left our neighbor's porch we smiled at each other and struck up a conversation.
He had just graduated from college and was doing this as a summer job. I'd say he's about 21 years of age, tops. I was mesmerized by his eyes, which were the bluest of blue, like cornflower blue. He was so young, so sweet and genuine that my maternal instinct was triggered and I just wanted to give him a cuddle.
Anyway, after some small talk, I told him I wanted to give him something and asked him to wait. I ran in and grabbed a Smile Card and a Peace Dove (I always keep some handy near the door). I gave them to him and shared about KindSpring.org and KS member Mindy's 'Peace Dove' mission. He was visibly taken by the share and told me he had be
en "looking for peace" (so sweet he was!). Well that was all the Mish had to hear, lol, and that led to a whole other conversation, as you can well imagine.
He then said "Oh, I just want to hug you." So I smiled and told him "It's what we KindSpring members do! A warm hug was shared between us. I told my husband: "He'd make a perfect KindSpring member!" (my husband, who had come alongside us, returning from jogging at that time. My husband smiled and agreed (He's used to me hugging strangers).
As we were saying good bye I offered him some cold water and he left saying he was so glad we had met today. That he needed our talk. I was glad too.
