A Bead and the Kindness of Strangers

--by thislady, posted Mar 7, 2012

My daughter is a teller at a bank. She saw that one of her clients was wearing a charm bracelet made by "Pandora." I had been wanting one of them for my birthday. My husband just bought me one last week so I got my present early.

My daughter mentioned to the customer how pretty her three braclets were and that I had just got one as an early birthday present. The customer asked when my birthday was and my daughter told her. The woman, according to my daughter, replied, "Oh, my birthday is on the 20th" and then she opened her braclet and took off a beautiful charm and gave it to my daughter to give to me as a gift!

The reason I wanted one of these braclets is so that as my friends and family buy beads for it I will be able to look at each one with love and fondness for the person giving it. This bead will always remind ME to pay it forward and to be kind even to a stranger. What a wonderful reminder as I glance down at my bracelet.
