Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Healing His Spirit - With Flowers!


--by Pastorbridgetmke, posted Dec 10, 2013
Over a month ago my boyfriend was brutally beaten by six people in a hate crime. 

While his physical injuries are healing, his spirit is taking much longer.
 
A couple of nights ago he raided our "piggy bank" for the $30 or so that was in it. Then he went to the grocery store and bought an armload of mixed bouquets of flowers. Then went to a rougher neighborhood in the city.

There, he walked up and down the street slipping a flower into the door handle of each car he passed. 

Everyone came out the next day to find a little generosity and beauty brought into their life by a stranger.

He told me he did this because he was having a particularly hard day with regards to the beating, and he knew that doing something beautiful would help him heal!
