Little deeds of kindness have a greater positive impact than we may ever realize. Consider the tale of the woman who chose to help a wonderful family after seeing them. She was unaware of the significance her small act would have for them.
It should encourage folks to help out friends, family, and even complete strangers. Everything, no matter how tiny, counts.
Joyce Rhinehart treated her grandson Blake to ice cream at Rita’s Italian Ice on June 8. Joyce spotted a family sitting on a bench outside having ice cream just as she and Blake were ready to head out.
Joyce posts on Facebook, “I felt compelled to ask them if I could take their picture.”
She used her phone to take a picture, which she then gave to the family’s daughter so she could send it to herself. Joyce was thanked by the family, and after dropping Blake off at his house, she forgot about the wonderful moment.
But that is not where the narrative ends. Joyce got a text from an unknown number a few days later. Joyce got shivers when she opened it and read it, and she started crying.
“Dear Madam, on June 8th, you took our picture in front of Rita’s. This is our last family photo together since my wife died away yesterday. It means the world to me, so please accept my sincere gratitude for your thoughtfulness. I sincerely appreciate your help.
Never undervalue the impact of a small deed of compassion. You never know; for the person on the other end, it can mean everything.
