Witnessing An Act of Kindness

--by smoothsugardoll, posted Jan 21, 2008

While waiting in line at the grocery store, a young girl with 3 babies, was ahead of me in line. She had lots of food for her babies, and when the total was rung she was over 20 dollars short. I felt for her but had no more money with me to help, as she started putting the food back.

Just then, a gentle voice came from behind me. It was an elderly woman. She said, "Don't put those baby's food back. God has this covered with a blessing I got yesterday in the mail. I knew He had something in mind for it."

With a sweet smile she handed the cashier the money and wished the good mother a blessed life.

It was a gentle, beautiful and selfless. How she touched my heart with her special kindness. I had a smile all day knowing there are wonderful people around me!
