Acts Of Kindness

So Jim and I were doing all of our honey-do's this morning - it was cold here (for southern Cal.) and we went into CVS for a few things. There was this couple outside holding hands and they smiled as I went in the store. They looked cold and you knew they didn't have anywhere warm to go but they wern't complaining or begging for food, they just held hands and stood there. I walked in and Jim and I both felt bad for them. We were going to get subway to get a sandwhich for the game later, after we left CVS, so we decided to get them a sandwhich too. I went out and asked them if they were ok and if they wanted us to get them a sandwhich. They were kinda skeptical at first but then said yes and thank you. Jim and I got in the truck and off we went to Subway. We got them a footlong to share and one for us to share. When we drove back to CVS they were standing there by the curb, looking in our direction, probably wondering if we were going to come back and you could tell they were happy we did. We pulled up and gave them their sandwhich and the lady took it and reached in and gave me a hug and told me thank you and she loved me and for us to stay warm, dry and to love each other. They were so grateful for the meal and I just couldn't believe it when she told us to stay warm and dry. As we drove off, I was filled with so many different feelings. I wanted to cry, not because I was sad really. I know that they were going to be ok because they had each other. I don't know what happened to them to get them where they were but I know it's happening, escpecially right now, to a lot of people. I am grateful for my life, and that I am in the position to be able to do that for somebody. I am also grateful for my warm house and the food we have to eat. I am also grateful for Jim and the love he shares with me and the fun we have together.

I am just learning how to blog but I am going to try to share this blog everywhere I can in hopes that whoever reads it will take the time to do something nice and caring for people who are not as fortunate as we are. The feeling you get will warm your heart and let you know, that is the way we should all be, everyday. If we all did acts of kindness this world would be a better place. I know I am going to try to do something nice for someone else everyday. I hope whoever reads this will do the same. What a great way to start the day. Next time I see them, I will thank them for the feelings they let me feel this morning. Have a good, blessed day everybody!!!!
