Nadine Chandler was driving cross-country to start a new job. What began as a fun adventure turned into a nightmare when she realized she had run through most of her money and still had a long way to go. She pulled over and let the tears flow. That’s when she noticed the unopened farewell card her neighbor had shoved in her hand as she left. She pulled the card out of the envelope, and $100 dropped out just enough to get her through the remainder of her trip. Later, she asked her neighbor why she had enclosed the money. She said, “I had a feeling it would help.”
Wow! How thoughtful of her neighbor to forsee an incident and make efforts to cushion it. What manner of love, what depth of kindness and what intensity of humanity.
We can always be proactive and dish out acts of kindness that would save future situations. Kindness and empathy have no perfect time other than now. Hesitate no further and act kindly NOW.
