Good News

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program with this important update This just in Random acts of kindness have been occurring wildly in the tri-state area A local man, not having two quarters to his name was handed a winning lottery ticket A woman, who thought her purse was stolen with her rent check inside, had it returned to her A local boy had gone door to door asking his elderly neighbors if they needed assistance What if the news were to tell us this That the world was changing for the good I would love to hear news like this on TV Because to act like this, we should Come on now people, it’s not very hard To extend a hand, a smile, a buck Think, what if it were you today on the street The one who was down on his luck

My church started a pay it forward thing. We look for someone to do something for likek pay the order for the car behind you at Mcd's random acts. The great thing is the kids in the family learn to bless, it's great. Wonderful inspirational poem. Laurie

While watching the grim news day after day...I've often thought, if perhaps if the news would focus more often on acts of kindness such as this...it would result in more kindness. Inspiring more people to perhaps do more random acts of kinds...paying it forward....one good thing leads to another. Nicely written Michael. ~ Carrie

Yes! And over the country it's more than just hard times - it's a cold winter. I like your effort at melting a few hearts. Love, daver
