Earlier this week I lost my credit card at the pump of a busy gas station. A couple of hours later when I realized it was gone and I had ripped apart my purse and car I called the gas station and it turns out someone found it and handed it in. That is a Random Act of Kindness.
A few weeks ago my car died on I95, a major highway in Connecticut, began to smoke and burst into flames. A man stopped and ran out to pull me away from the car. Another man stopped with a fire extinguisher but before he could get to the car it burst into flames. The fireman were literally awe-some. They got there within 5 minutes of my call and they put the flames out within minutes. They were caring and helpful. The off duty state trooper who stopped to help me and stayed with me for an hour in the cold and with his son waiting in the car made sure that my car was towed and that I could get a rental car before the rental agency closed. The rental agency waited for me and then gave me an unbelieveable deal. Many, many Random Acts of Kindnesses here.
And many angels.
I think that there are far more Random Acts of Kindness going on in the world that we encounter daily, weekly. We don’t hear about them in the news but they ARE happening around us all of the time.
I want to start a Random Act of Kindness Revolution! Send me your comments and stories and let’s report on good things and start a kindness revolution together!
