 “A friend of mine has been battling cancer for 2 years now. Every so often, when I have a little extra I send her a check. She called the other day crying as she had lost the check I sent her and an insurance check. “I was having a hard day and decided to go out for a walk. I was going to stop at the bank and when I got there the checks were missing from my pocket.” she cried. “I looked everywhere but I can’t find them.” I told her I would drop off another check that day and not to worry. A couple of hours later she called to tell me that two people walking had found the checks and brought them to the police station and that she could pick them up the next day. She told the policeman how grateful she was because she really needed this money to pay her electric bill as she did not have much income coming in with the cancer and everything. She also asked if she could get the names and addresses of the pople who turned in the checks so she could thank them.The next day when she went to the station to pick up the checks the policeman told her that when he told the story to the good samaritans, they went to the power company and paid her electric bill also. “She doesn’t need to know our names.” he said
“She just needs to know people care.”

| “I believe we were all placed on earth for each other, we can’t live on our own. When I am raised to a higher level, when I prosper in life, it is not for my wellbeing but rather for the sake of others. We all can make earth a better place, not by the big things we do but by the little acts of kindness that lifts and inspires a broken heart.” — Merciet |
