Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Burgled At Night, Blessed In The Morning

My  husband came home today and told me a gentlemen who used to attend our church was robbed last night. Someone had broken into his home and stole his money and some other other things. 

He has no family here but, since he can still stay in his house, we figured he might need some food since they stole his money. And, yes, he did. So, my husband and I decided to take him to the store and get him some groceries. 
 
He just couldn't believe it. He was so happy and grateful. We had made his day and, no doubt about it, helping him made our day as well!

Thanks for extending your love!

God bless!

May god put us all on the right track! Let's hope that a time will come when all evil doers will also be reformed and this world will change into heaven.
