Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Warmed by Coffee Kindness


--by suzanniered, posted Jul 1, 2013
The day was cold and windy, just before Christmas.
The local home-supply and garden store was still open, and the cashier shivered as he rung my sale.

"Bet you wish you had a cup of coffee right about now!" I said.
"I sure do!" he answered, as a gust of cold wind made us both shiver.
I thanked him and started toward my car when I the convenience store across the street caught my eye. I wondered, How much would it take for me to go and get him some coffee?

When I returned with a big steaming cup and some sugar and creamer, he was surprised."Thanks so much!" he said, tearing off the lid," That's awesome! "  I still made it to my next appointment and felt warm all over. And instead of coffee, it was the small act of kindness that energized me.
