Kindness EVERYWHERE!!

AH BY NOW MILLIONS HAVE PROBABLY SEEN IT..... the policeman in New York city buying a man who had no socks or shoes, a pair of socks and shoes, yes from his own money, not the city's.

Before him was a city bus driver in Winnipeg, Canada, giving his own shoes to a man on the bus with no shoes.

Then there is the unknown (at his request) rich man, following he says in the footsteps of a friend, who gives out $100  dollar bills to strangers, and will do it to 1,000 more people before he's finished.

All this reminds me of a news story way back, oh maybe 15 or more years ago now. This man in Vancouver. B.C. Canada, had a piece of land. He sold it and was amazed that he got 20 Million dollars for it. He was already retired and in good financial shape. He called up his children (think he had 4 of them) and asked if it was okay with them to give most of this 20 million dollars away. They all said they were in good shape money wise, and so he should enjoy giving it away. And that is exactly what he did.

He was not going to be unwise in how he gave it away, yes a $20 dollar bill to this person on the street in need. But wise when it came to giving away big chunks of money.

This one lady took him to a half-way house for women needing to get away from abusive husbands. The B.C. Government was no longer going to fund the lady running this half-way house, and so it would have to close down. The camera was there: the lady bringing the man said to the lady running the half-way house, "What do you need?" She answered, "Well this....." (forgot what it was). The man nodded his head as for a yes. "You have it," said the first lady. "Now what else do you need?" "Well this....." (forgot what she asked for now). The man nodded his head for a yes. "You have it," said the first lady. "What else do you need?" By now the house lady was beginning to think this was all a joke, and with a small laugh said, "Well everything." Obviously to keep the house open she needed what she needed to keep it open. All that the B.C. Government was no longer going to give her. The man nodded his head, as for a yes. "You have it," said the first lady. The house lady realized this was not some joke, and broke down in tears.

Wow when I still think about this, and relate it again, I have tears in my eyes.

THERE  IS  A  LOT  OF  GOOD  OUT  THERE  BEING  DONE,  AND  WE  PROBABLY  SHOULD  HEAR  A  LOT  MORE  ABOUT  IT  THAN  WE  DO.

The policeman in New York buying a man socks and shoes....... the photo was taken by a tourist who then sent it to the NYPD office, who put it up on their facebook.......then it went viral, and the rest is now history.

SO  WHEN  YOU  CAN,  DO  GOOD  TO  SOMEONE  OR  SOMETHING.

IT  WAS  WHAT  JESUS  TAUGHT  AND WHAT  THE  GOOD  BOOK  THE  BIBLE  TEACHES.

YES,  WE  ARE  OUR  BOTHER'S  KEEPER!
