Feeding the Soul ❤️
This past weekend was a “Pay it Forward” movement. If you have ever been a recipient of a random act of kindness, you know how amazing passing it on feels. My girlfriend and I wanted to be part of it, and our first thought was to help people in our own community; but within a few hours we spread kindness where ever the adventure took us.
We were surprised at some reactions, which frankly, brought us to tears. One elderly woman in particular was so taken back by offering to pay for her groceries, she tried to give us money in return. I had gotten choked up and didn’t see her reaction, but Diane witnessed her grace and thankfulness to two strangers she most likely would never see again.
Another young couple squealed in delight as we had offered a small token; it was as if they had won the lottery or something much greater than we had shared. Enthusiastically, they told us they would be passing it on. Humbling us…….so little, meant so much to this young couple we wouldn’t stumble upon again.
More reactions were similar as the day went on. We had ear to ear smiles when we witnessed someone paying it forward when they didn’t see us watching.
We may have only done a few random acts of kindness that day, but what was given back to us was ten-fold. Our souls were fed and our hearts were full. We are already planning our next “Pay it Forward” adventure.
