Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Celebrate Givers

This time of year there are always Bell Ringers for the Salvation Army. It was super windy and cold this past weekend, I droppeda donation when I went in the store. When I came out of the store, it was even colder. There was a Burger King across the street, so I went in and bought a large coffee and chicken nuggets. I figured it was a safe bet for someone to enjoy if they were cold.  I went back the the bell ringer, and handed him the bag. I said, it is pretty chilly here in the shade and I thought you might enjoy something warm.
 
He was totally shocked! I wished him a Merry Christmas and left. He was smiling.

I do this often, but don't usually post as I feel like I should be totally anonymous, but I thought if I shared my story it might encourage someone else to brighten another's day! Kindness does not cost a whole lot. I challenge others to do the same all year long, not just at Christmas. Wishing everyone who is reading a blessed day!

Thanks for sharing, you do not need to post all the find acts individually. We wish you post one with many kind acts over a period of time. Thanks for sharing.
