Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Trust For The Best.


--by kindmyst, posted Jan 16, 2020
I went to get my driver’s license renewed.

A young man came in wanting to get his license reinstated.
He couldn’t. Apparently he had outstanding child support. The clerk told him to first apply for an ID.

The man whom I assumed was out now from jail or corrections and trying to be back in the community became overwhelmed by the unexpected fee he had to pay to get the ID.

He was about to leave the office all together but decided to fill out the application. I went to the clerk and asked her about the fee. She told me; I paid for it and left.

A fleeting thought came in “You are helping a deadbeat dad”, but I quickly reframed to “He just needs some support to get himself back on track.” And had to let go of the outcome. I also got in touch with my gratitude for what  I have, my health and my family.

So I wanted the same for this person.

You did the right thing the outcome will be what it will be....but thank you for caring enough x

We all know that intention is the most important part of our action. You need not worry about the result. It depends on the karma of that person and karma never fails.

As you guessed the person may be out of jail or corrections, he needed the support most to get back on track. God used you as his instrument in this regard. God will definitely bless you if not already blessed.

Thanks for this inspiration post.
