Have you ever been surprised by another person’s generosity? When someone you know does something so unexpected that their actions leave you almost stunned. They push the boundaries of giving and go from the usual give and take to a whole another level of kindness. These don’t always have to be larger-than-life actions or involve many resources, but you can clearly see that they were able to dig deep into their hearts for someone else. These are the beautiful souls that carry a heart as vast as the sky. –Guri
