"Great acts are made up of small deeds." --Lao Tzu
Sometimes It Just Takes a Penny
In this real-life kindness story, a man inspires generosity in a homeless woman after being approached by her for money. Having just heard good news in a friend's life, he offers to buy food for her and shares his inspiration with the homeless lady: "Something nice happened to my friend recently, after a lot of struggles. When you came in, I thought that I should keep that chain of goodness going and do something for someone else. My act is small compared to my friend's joy, but still, the love continues. You know what I mean? We have to keep the chain of love going." After he buys her some food, the homeless lady consciously picks out a coin from her change, and drops a penny in the tip-jar! "You kept the chain of love going," he states. "Yes, I did," she affirms.
BE THE CHANGE
Look for an everyday moment to turn into an opportunity to serve in a small way.
