We have a family tradition of making peanut brittle each year, and we distribute it to random people we come in contact with. It’s not a big thing, but each year we always have someone ask before we’ve made it if we’re going to do it again. Realtors, checkout clerks, wait staff – it’s fun to leave a special treat for people.

we have an Elf tree in our small community where I teach and I am rounding up gifts for local families that need help. Alos gathered yarn for a friend’s mother to make scarves her her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

at the bagel place i go, one of the clerks behind the counter is pregnant. she has one small child. i try to chat with her when i go in. she told me she is due and can’t wait since she will be off work for 3 months….with no pay. but she is working right up till she delivers. when i went in i made sure it was ok with the manager, so as not to get her in trouble, i passed her $20 and told her to put it to all the diapers she will need. it wasn’t much, but wanted to help her in some way. it warmed my heart.

i don’t like doing things and letting other know, but perhaps my act might inspire others to help someone else.

My comment isn’t on a act of kindness I did…I was a victim to a random act of kindness and it left me quite shocked…sure people do nice things for me all the time…hold doors, wave me through intersections, invite me places but this was so totally random. I was in the checkout lane at the local grocery when the man in front of me grabbed me bottle of water and said I’ll take this too please. I thought what the heck…it took me a minute to realize that he wasn’t stealing my bottle of water just paying for it…in fact he had to say random act of kindness for me to get it…it was really nice!!!! Thanks dear man!!!!

The receptionist in my department’s office was rudely treated by a medical student coming in to see me for remediation. She had failed a communication assessment and she was 40 minutes late. I asked her to let the student know that she would have to call and reschedule and she took it out on the receptionist. When I found out I let the student know and insisted that she send her an apology (she did). Then I took her (the receptionist out to Starbucks for a treat.

I adopted a Silver Angel from an Angel Tree and purchased a bunch of great christmas goodies for them. I hope that she’ll get some pleasure from her gifts and good use out of her practical items.

My daughter called me and told me she was upset because she was short 50.00 for her rent, and that her work day’s were only 3 or 4 day’s a week this past month….so I went and gave her the money she needed…with 5 children to care for, this meant a lot to her…..and to me too!

While standing in line at a Braums store I saw a Military serviceman in line with a few purchases. He was a few people behind me and not paying much attention to what was going on in the front of the line. I gave the cashier enough money to pay for his purchases and give him change. Then I left and he never knew who it was.

It is not random because we do these things year round – first is the donations we make to the local Food Pantry – last month included the turkey that my work gives me + 4 more that we bought……we also support Sleep Trains Foster Kids program year round, and we recently dropped off a big bag filled with games for their Christmas gift gathering. Yearly we do a Giving tree – recently it has been the one at the local Police Department and this year we chose and adult female, and an adult male, and a male teen and a female teen. Year round at work we all donate to our Christmas Jar and then at Christmas time we choose who might have had a change in circumstances this past year and give it to them – we never know how much is in there – and the person is anonymous unless they choose to let people know they were the recipient.
