A Smile Card Story Hits the Airwaves

--by lmil1954, posted Jun 8, 2009

This is way cool. I stepped into my car this morning and heard the following on the radio: "Random Acts of Kindness sure do create a ripple effect and spread smiles and love farther than we can imagine."

There was more:"We just got a call from our friend Deb in Nazareth, who told us about a grumpy crossing guard. One day Deb decided to stop into Dunkin Donuts and get hot chocolates for each of the four crossing guards. When she gave it to the grumpy one, she told him she really appreciates what he does for all the children out here in the cold, wet weather, day in and day out. She then handed him a Smile Card, and he produced a smile which she would never forget. From then on, they always said good day to one another."

Deb had gotten the Smile Cards from me and loved the stories I had told her about here on HelpOthers. She does not have a computer, but has a receptive heart and due to the kindness of all of you and the originator(s) of this site, was able to bring the ripple of kindness and smiles full circle!

Tons of love to all of you today!

Handing out Smile Cards may seem like such a simple thing...but look how nicely the kind acts that go along with the presentation of the cards really effect others.
Thanks for sharing!
