Our parents, pastors and teachers expected us to act that way all the time, everywhere we went. To share, to give, to think of others. And while the whole random acts of kindness thing is a nice thing, a good thing, it's such a shame to me that so many of these smaller gestures have become uncommon enough to need an initiative like random acts.

When I lived in the Twin Cities og Minnesota, a Christian radio station encouraged random acts of kindness through the "drive-thru difference" on the first Friday of each month. The idea was to pay for the order of the car behind you. I used to do this every time I went to Starbucks on the way to work. It spread throughout the region and fabulous stories came out of those acts and how some people were at wits end and needed to know that another human cared.

They act like I'm weird for doing that, but it's amazing how you really can connect with someone. I'm curious though how you turn your acts of kindness into raising funds for charity? Keep spread the good word...I do think there's too much negativity in the world, not less good, it's just people don't see good on the tv etc.Sandyhttp://homelessbridge.blogspot.com/2015/05/cupcakes-for-knitters-and-crocheters.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
