Random Acts of Kindness

With the Christmas season here, I love to watch people be nice to one another. I love to help out other people, and wish we were more financially stable so that we could do more. Carrie, thank you for bringing over that bag of clothes! I went through and picked out stuff for Daniel, then was going to take the rest to the DI, but I kept putting it off. (In fact, it's still not at the DI...) Anyways, a friend came over to use some of my scrap fabric to fix a toy. She was fixing it for a needy family that she knows of. They have a 9 month old boy and a 3 year old boy and no way to provide Christmas. I asked her if she needed any more clothes for the baby, but she said that everyone had stuff for the baby. Luckily, I remembered the bag for the DI. We went through and picked some clothes out for the little boy. I know that it was not much, but I wish I could witness the joy on his face when he gets some toys and clothes on Christmas!

The other night, Cody and I went out to dinner. We were getting ready to leave and our waitress came up. She said we had two checks. I thought that maybe there was a mistake on the first one, so we would have to pay separately. She then explained: before we had ordered dessert (I have been craving ice cream...) someone pointed us out and paid for our meal!!! On the receipt it says "Merry Christmas from a random stranger!" I couldn't believe it. I started tearing up! How sweet and amazing that someone would do that!

Anyways, I just wanted to blog about it. I wish that everyone would do more things like that all the time, not just Christmas. That stranger made my whole week better!! I have the receipt in my bag still. Even though I don't know who did it for us, they will now hold a special place in my heart. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and remember the real reason for this special season. Jesus Christ our Savior was born so that He could be our example. Then He lovingly laid down His life for us so that we could return to Him again.
