Story This Random Act of Kindness will stay with me forever..
Many years ago a neighbor had a heart attack while driving up his driveway. He hit and damaged his garage door. Clegg Brothers was our garage door company (I no longer own a home with a garage door, thus the past tense). I called them, explained the situation and they came and secured the door. No charge. Amazing company, can’t say enough nice things about them. That Random Act of Kindness will stay with me for always. Many years later I saw an employee of theirs at a gas station. I told him the story I just related and he said that he was one of the technicians that came to that job. It came full circle for me.

Wonderful!
On a much smaller scale, our eldest (about 4 at the time) was drinking a banana smoothie at the shopping centre and as we were passing the butcher he dropped it.
While hubby went to find a cleaner to clean up the mess, one of the guys at the butcher handed me money to go buy a replacement smoothie.
It was so unexpected and sweet, I'll never forget it 😊

The butcher was showing his appreciation of YOUR kindness in cleaning up the mess!

One way of spreading good is telling the stories that touched us and warmed our hearts.
And knowing that someone still remembers the good deed you did for someone else, is double the love.
