No gift of kindness -- no matter how small -- is ever wasted!
“In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
‘How much is an ice cream sundae?’’
"50 cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it.
"How much is a dish of plain ice cream?" he inquired. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient.
’35 cents,’ she said brusquely.
The little boy again counted the coins. ‘I’ll have the plain ice cream,’ he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and departed.
When the waitress came back, she began wiping down the table and then swallowed hard at what she saw.
There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, was 15 cents – HER TIP.”
No gift of kindness -- no matter how small -- is ever wasted!
Kindness is the language the deaf can hear and the blind can see. -Mark Twain
It's easy to lose faith in people. Sometimes one small act of kindness is all it takes to give you hope again. Be that hope for someone!
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as you can. - John Wesley 1703-1798
300 years later . . . JOHN'S ADVICE IS STILL TRUE!
