Random Acts of Kindness

Please don't think I'm trying to pat myself on the back when I relate this story. The other morning, while waiting in the drive-through line at Tim Hortons, I decided to pay for whatever the person behind me ordered. Fortunately it was only a large coffee so the extra amount only came to $1.39. I paid for my coffee and for the person behind me and drove off leaving them baffled. I didn't know who it was and they likely didn't have a clue who I was.

Hopefully whoever it was received some encouragement from this random act of kindness. We have countless opportunities on a daily basis to do this. Why not try it more often! We'll never know the impact we might make on a struggling fellow traveler.

Note: I don't have a Bible handy as I post this so I'll paraphrase the following Scripture verse from Paul's letter to the Galatians. "As we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who are of the household of faith." - Galatians 6:10 (close to the KJV)

Let's take those opportunities! Today!
