Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Who do you think I am?

"Do, I look destitute or something?" customer behind me in line replied when I offered to buy his purchase.

I smiled and said that my offer was an act of random kindness.

After a few moments, he softened a bit and replied that it was very nice of me to offer.

He was receptive, as was the cashier, to receiving a Peace dove, which he carefully put in his wallet (to give his wife later) and called out to me as I was leaving, "Have a blessed day!"

So funny, when kindness lights our way, my friends.

I'm still smiling thinking of his curmudgeonly reply to my offer of kindness.

It really hid a heart of gold <3.
