What may seem like a simple act of kindness or an insignificant gesture of politeness can have herculean effects.
Take for instant... a story my dad told me. He was a waiter in Chinatown many years ago. And a stranger walked in looking troubled and disconcerted. My dad naturally offered the man a glass of water...knowing full well he wasn't a paying customer. The man gulped the water... and walked out. Several weeks later...the man comes back and offers my dad a red envelope - thanking him. Thanking him for saving his life. Cuz that man was nearing cardiac arrest and at that moment... what he needed was a glass of water.
Sometimes it's a smile. Sometimes it's a hug. Sometimes, it's opening your home and letting someone come in and feel loved.
I thank you for the simple act of kindness.
