RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

The other day
THIS CHECK
came in the mail.
It was from a complete stranger.
The check was written the same day
the article in the paper came out.
We were really touched.
There IS good in this world.
(course I already KNEW that)
Inspires me to reciprocate,
again and again.

James taught that true Christianity requires a life of righteous works and service. The test of being a follower of Jesus is in daily righteousness and acts of kindness. James taught that such acts are evidence of our faith in Jesus Christ.

I'm glad the mail lady was kind enough to leave the mail that day so you could receive you wonderful blessing from this unknown source. How great is that? If you pay it forward, you always get it back in triplicate.
