Jan. 9 – Cold Weather Brings out Warmth of Heart

snow on car

 

On Tuesday our area was greeted with the largest snow-fall of the winter season.  When I was outside at 2:30 PM I saw a man clearing snow off of two vehicles.  I thought to myself, “That is nice that he cleaning off his friend’s car along with his own”.  At 4:30 PM when I left to go home I realized he had a larger task in mind.  At least 20 employee vehicles that were covered in snow at 2:30 PM (including my own) were now clear and ready to drive.

I termed what this man did as a “REPETIVE ACT OF RANDOM KINDNESS”.  With a Random Act of Kindness you do something for someone with no expectation of credit or being acknowledged for your good work.  That would be definition of clearing one vehicle.  This kind soul went beyond that and cleared many employee vehicles.  That is where the “repetitive” comes into the title because he did the same kind act many times in one setting.

In a world where we tend to hear bad news, I want to share the kindness this man showed as broadly as I am able to.  It is a testimony of how an act of simple kindness can brighten the day for someone else.  If we want to read about good news we have to create it and then we have to encourage others to share it.  I hope reading this post touches your heart as much as mine was touched when my car was cleared of snow and ready for me to drive!
