KINDNESS: I saw this on FB – “Today at work I helped a little old lady out to her car with her groceries. She was very kind and talkative and I was just listening to her and barely contributing to the conversation because it was busy and I knew I needed to get back inside, but still trying to be attentive and engaged. I thanked her again for shopping with us before I turned to go back inside and she touched my arm and said “may I tell you one more thing before you go” I said “absolutely” she said “I live alone with my little puppy dog and every morning when I wake up she jumps on my tummy and we say our prayers and thank God for all of the blessings that he’ll bring to us for that day. I just wanted to let you know that I’m confident that you’re one of the blessings he sent to me today. Thank you for your kindness” and she turned and got in her car and I walked back inside crying.”
