Stories of Kindness from Around the World

My dad and I were grateful for unexpected gifts

I have to tell this story. It's actually about how this guy blessed our family last year, but I'll always remember. My dad had to get a whole new transmission on his truck and he was just venting to this guy we know at church. "How much is it for?", he asked. My dad told him.

Two days later we received a check for the total amount he needed for a transmission, which was over $1000! I couldn't believe it. Me and my dad were so grateful. We gave him a thank you card with a gift card saying we can never repay your kindness, you made our Xmas, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
But that's not all. We were blessed twice this last year.

One day I opened the mail and received a $100 check from a lady, who goes to our church saying she was blessed now she's giving us a blessing. I took that check and put it in the salvation army kettle because one time we weren't doing so well and they helped us out. Now we're able to pay forward. God is good.
