Random Act Of Kindness

The other day Danee' and I were at the drive thru getting some dinner. I had passed a young father walking with his little boy. This was the day that it had snowed in Mesa. It was so cold outside! I watched as the two crossed over into the grocery store parking lot. The young boy was about three years old and wore a little sweat shirt and red mittens. The father had a jacket and a back pack on that I assumed would be to carry home the groceries. As I watched I saw a car approach them and stop. It was a woman about my age who rolled down her window and ask where they were headed. I could tell by the motions of the father that they were going into the grocery store. The woman handed a scarf through the window of her car and motioned to the little boy. The father then wrapped the scarf around his young son's neck and padded him on the back. They waved to each other and the woman drove away. What a kind and random act of kindness. Danee' and I teared up a little as we thought about how we should all be like the woman in the car.
Happy New Year everybody!
