Acts Of Kindness

Shadows! I have found this to be very true already! These people who are in the "hobby" have been more than kind and generous towards me! It has been an amazing journey already and I am absolutely HOOKED! !

Glad to hear that your were dressed to attire. Hope you will post a pic of your outfit. Bet your were great.
Have fun I am sure you will.
I love going to events like that.

Celtic Rose-
How nice of that woman to do that for you..think I could get someone to sew on a button for me??? LOL
I think you should post your pictures of your outfit..

Well I could do that, Rindy, but boy! Would y'all get a good laugh!

I would sew the button on for you. But I think it would be quite costley to get it to me to sew.

I don't mean to toot my own horn but this touched me so...
I bought a small gift certificate from Subway for the man that
works the window at our local Post office.
It meant so much to him that he came around and gave me a big hug.
It's not the price of the gift that matters~just the thought

Sometimes the smallest of gifts mean the most. It is so good to see that the hearts of men and woman are still alive and well - living the Christmas spirit all year round!

"I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year."~Charles Dickens

A good thought to live by

hmmm..i give alot of gifts to my friends at school...especially to the girls teehee
but i do that to impress them,so..heh,maybe thats not an act of kindness.
(most of the gifts i give to girls will end up in the rubbish bin,though *sweat*heh,but i dont mind.)

This year my medical office staff decided that instead of drawing a name to purchase a gift for a co-worker, that we would have a potluck and each staff member would purchase children's story books to donate to the local hospital's children's ward. So between all of the staff we were able to donate over 30 books, and the doctors even helped out.

Also, there is a homeless man that often digs through the garbage cans where I park my car for work. One day he was looking for things, and I passed onto him the soda pops and the waters, and some food items that I had in my car to him, his reply was God Bless you ma'm. God's blessing was payment enough for many days to come.

This is a great subject........................Mariah

Mariah~The book idea was great! There are so many children that would
love to read but can't afford to purchase the books.
My daugther teaches 7th grade in a fairly poor community. She has set
up a library in her classroom so the children can check out books.
We buy them at local Goodwills for .25 so if a book doesn't get
returned it's no biggie.

Reading about the homeless man touched my heart. It makes us realize
how very blessed we are in life.

I just have to give a little shout out for a friend here at CelticRadio...he was one of my very first friends here and he is such a sweet-heart! I just got the nicest p/m from him...so...from me to you....(and you know who you are!!) THANKS FOR BEING A FRIEND!!! I got your back if you've got mine!!

Saw something that made my eyes misty a few days ago . . .

A little girl around seven was out with her dad in midtown. They passed a homeless man with his dog. Dad was for going right by, but the man and the dog caught the kid's attention, and she stopped her father. I could see him trying to get her to just walk away, but she insisted. So they gave the guy some money, and more (and better, I believe) the girl chatted with the man for a minute about his dog, her school, and stuff. The main problem homeless people themselves often talk about isn't that nobody gives them anything, though that's bad enough, but that nobody talks to them like they are human.

Reading these act of kindness is like reading a good book,
that you don’t want to end.
