Everyone Should Be Like This!

Oh my word! I almost forgot to give shout-outs to Pam, Sam, Samantha, and Edward.

So around lunch time Brandice and I we're going to camp out at Clark and Lake. The two of us had lunch at Thompson Center.

Then I wanted to hand out some of my cards to people. First, we stopped and talked to this gentleman named Edward. He was in a wheelchair and I think he was waiting for the Paratransit Para Transit ride. :-) good for you Edward! You got my girls number! Then, it's all my friends got who introduce me to Sam daughter Samantha I was able to give the two of them cards two writings and my blog. Lastly, we kept their stroll going and
We saw a Paratransit van and the other side of the building. Caregiver told the driver to go in the back of the building to pick up Edward. Pam was the name of the lady who was driving the pace van.
So, I pray that you Edward, Sam, Samantha, and Pam will be encouraged by the writings!

Happy beaturday! Most people would say I'm a nice person. I have at times been told I have  high spirits. People say they are inspired when they comment on Facebook how inspired they feel when certain things happen in my life. To that of course, I feel very thankful. Being kind is actually pretty difficult to stick to all the time.

God boldly says in his words and commands all his people to show kindness. So, I guess yay, for me! Showing kindness at certain times and being obedient to God. Nope, that definitely is not all the time. :( But, I try and with God's help, I am and will get better at being kind 24/7.

My caregiver Brandice, is definitely what I would call a kind person. I remember one time she took me out so we can enjoy the pretty weather. First there was this woman in the car who
was asking for directions, Brandice was speaking to the lady and asked her if she wanted Brandice to Google how to get to this lady's destination. So, the lady told Brandice to Google it for her and she wasvery thankful.

Then as we continued our stroll, we come across this man with a long cane because he was blind. He was asking if that was the street he was about to cross. Brandice couldn't leave me because duh. However, she asked another stranger to help this blind man cross the street.
I said wow you're such a nice person! She talks to just about anyone she will come across just to say hi and how you doing! She said she was just being a good samaritan. :)

Let me end with this little story that happened just yesterday. So, I was at Starbucks and I felt like eating Madeleines. I asked Brandice if she can get some for me and then I would pay the Starbucks people later. Well, during lunch we were on our little stroll, so I was unable to pay them back.
When it was time for Brandice to leave, I was back at Starbucks and I realized oh crap I didn't pay for my Madeleines! So, I called one of the workers, which happened to be the boss. And she came and she had picked up my phone that I dropped on the floor. And I told her, " thank you and take my phone and use the Starbucks app to pay for my Madeleines that I took this morning! I'm so sorry I totally forgot to pay!"

The boss told me, " Don't worry about it! You're like part of the Starbucks family! She would just put it on her mark up. ( I don't know what that means, but wasn't that nice?) I am seriously trying not to tear up!

So, yeah I guess God knew what he was doing when he made the command for people to be nice and kind-hearted and all that good stuff! Totally makes sense.  It kind of stinks when the atmosphere and aroma leaves bad vibes. Let's try to be kind to one another. Who knows, it might get you a free cup of coffee from Starbucks! :)
