RAK Story Submission – Snowy RAK
We got four more inches of snow yesterday. The street plow had blocked my driveway for the second time this week. My husband is out of town and a neighbor on the next block came over and completely plowed me out. He even did my sidewalk! Wow…. Grateful…
Share on FacebookRAK Story Submission – Wonderful Neighbors!
Last spring, my husband and I had to leave for a sudden trip out of the country when his father became ill. It was not a good situation and we ended up being gone for 11 unplanned weeks. Our neighbors collected our mail, bought ferns for our porches, kept them watered for us etc… They were a God send and we will NEVER forget the many RAK’s they did as they watched out for us while we were gone. Beyond Priceless!!!
Share on FacebookRAK Story Submission – Got Milk??
I am a senior citizen,and was recently at the grocery store
and had a sudden dilemmia. The milk was all sold out except for the
bottom shelf with a few cartons in the very back. I was trying to
figure out how to ge the milk and a younger woman rushed in and got
down on her knees and dug out a carton of milk for me. She
anticipated my need and her RAK meant more than I can say.
RAK Story Submission – RAK in the Laundry Mat
I had a long day at our local laundry mat using the giant washer and dryers for my bedspreads. When I walked in, I noticed a very elderly man half bent over, loading his laundry. I felt for him and wondered what his story was. Then he left. Later, his washers stopped and he never returned. Finally, I put his clothes into two dryers and got them drying. The dryers stopped and he still had not returned. So, I folded all his clothes neatly into his baskets. About a half hour later, he came in with a very panicked look on his face. Did he forget about his clothes,and worry that they might be gone? I kept my face into the book I was reading, trying not to stare at him or own up to my Random Act of Kindness. He froze when he saw his clothes neatly folded into his basket. He looked around the room over and over in disbelief. Then with a tear in his eye, he looked up at the sky and loudly said “Thank you Sweet Jesus” and as he walked out of the laundry mat — he wore a big grin and stood a little taller.

Sitting in church,I noticed a young Mom in front of me sitting with her young son. She seemed stressed and very weary. During the song part of the service, I slipped a money into her purse. I felt it would be an encouragement to her… and give her hope that she could survive what ever was going on in her life.

Share on FacebookA Two Level Act of Kindness
While putting together a dynamic business deal, the person I was working with got very, very sick. Two other people in her office,came to the rescue and have been working (without pay) with me, on her behalf. Those two people have certainly gone far above and beyond with their random act of kindness to both of us.

We got a local story passed on to us directly from the source. A guy was at McDonald’s getting his Coke through the drive-thru this morning when he decided to pay for the person behind him. He stayed to see the expression in his rearview mirror … and it was PRICELESS! Continue the Kindness Movement in 2011 and … pay it forward!

I was challenged to perform a random act of kindness today and I’m glad I took the challenge!
I bought the coffee/donut for the guy behind me at Tim Horton’s this morning as well as bought hot chocolate for a friend and his coworker and dropped them off at his place of employment this morning!
What a great start to the day!

Share on FacebookRAK Giver Story: A Larger than Usual Tip
While traveling, my wife and I were eating at a restaurant and we had heard our waitress telling one of the patrons – who seemed like a regular – about how she had to work so much and she was short on her rent for that month and it was due that day. During the course of our meal, she came to our table to refill drinks and it was obvious she had been crying although she was trying to cover it up. At the end of our meal, when we paid our bill, we decided to add a $50 tip to our $25 bill to help with her rent shortage. We just knew we had to do it.

Share on FacebookRAK Recipient: Unexpected Food Delivery
Today, our family was the recipient of a Random Act of Kindness. A friend (who is one of the pastors at our church) had texted me a little while ago and asked if I was home and that he had something to bring to us. He said he dropped into his office today (his normal day off) and sitting outside his office was a pile of food with a note on top that read “Please give to the <our last name> but don’t tell them who gave it to them.” Well, since it was there when he got there, he could definitely say he didn’t know who put it there. It was a very kind gesture and we are incredibly blessed to receive it.
