Two Brothers Do The Same Act Of Kindness

My brother and I were shopping at a department store one day.  My mother had taken him home separately and had returned to get me.  As we were walking towards the car, I saw a homeless man sitting outside  the department store we were shopping at.

I told my mom to hold on a minute. I walked towards the man, and handed him a twenty dollar bill. I usually wouldn't do this, but I knew that I had to this time. When I handed it to him, a tear ran down his eyes, as he said "God bless you".

When I returned to the car my mom told me she was so proud. I asked her why and said that I felt that when people need help, and we have the urge to help, we need to just help them. She then told me that my brother, who she had taken home earlier, did the exact same thing.

Smile Cards At The Vending Machine

One day I had got a power bar from the vending machines at school before I realised that I couldn't eat it due to food allergies. So I attached a Smile Card and stuck it back in the machine :).

Another day someone's dollar got stuck in the machine, so I gave them a dollar and a Smile Card, which brought them to tears.

A diferent day, when I had made my selection I recieved an extra bag of chips. It was the coolest thing and a true example showing that what you put out into the world comes back to you.

Pay-It-Forward Global Heart Cart

Today I was working the Latte Cart at my church.

One of my friends came up to us and handed us $5.00 saying that last week someone annonymous had payed for her coffee and that she would like to pay it foreward to other people this week. She payed for two people's drinks. One of those people did the same thing. How cool :)

Later a woman came up asking if we took credit cards, which we did not. The barista at the cash register had payed it foreward to her. I then told him that the next customer is on me. It was a revolving circle of kindness and love.

I guess that's why we call it the Global Heart Cart.
