Stories of Kindness from Around the World

One in a Minion


--by mindyjourney, posted Aug 26, 2017
"Oh, we should get a bag like that!" the teen daughter told her mom as they passed by my shopping cart, where I had my Minion bag full of reusable shopping bags.

I pulled out all the bags and handed her the Minion bag, saying, "Here! Please, you take it!"

"I couldn't," the teen replied.

"I have lots of bags." and then, she accepted.

It was so spur of the moment that I forgot to give her a Smile card or a dove, but felt the bag and our exchange of smiles were enough.

Continuing to shop, we parted ways, but I heard her mom say "she just make your day, didn't she?"

How amazing that such a simple thing as an open-hearted give can have such an impact on someone!

Grateful to realize the gift of giving. You are all so one in a "minion," my kind friends.  Thank you!
