What is one of the most loving or charitable things you have recently witnessed?

About a month ago, I saw a very old man (80’s at least) shuffling a grocery cart up and down the aisles of Smiths grocery store. Next to him was, I think, a grandson or great-grandson who was about 20 yrs. The younger man walked as slow as the older man pointing out various things on the shelves so the older man could put the items in his cart. I watched them on an off for a half hour mezmarized by the patience and soft-spokenness of the man in his twenties who never did anything for the old man but rather allowed him the dignity to be totally self-reliant. But the thing that hit me the most was how unassuming the young man was. He was so absorbed in what he was doing, he didn’t notice me watching him. Our eyes only met once as we both left the store. I smiled at him. He smiled at me. And we both went our ways.
 
“Bailey2” What an awesome story! Thank you so much, for sharing it!

It really resonated with me, because I witness this type of charity (from other people) every time I’m out with my 87 year old mother. She is usually in her wheelchair; and people are so drawn to her, and are so very, very kind to her. It warms my heart.

They will bend down, and tell her how pretty she looks in her little straw hat. Small children seem especially drawn to her… because she herself, is so tiny. And always smiling. It is so touching, to watch a small child… watching my mother… and the interaction between them! I wish I could capture it on film!

Thank you for sharing your story! God bless you!

Thank you
 
Now, I want you all to ADD your stories. We often only see the bad in the world. I know everyone on this forum has seen things like the first two posts witnessed. So please add so we can all see God at work in the world.

What is the most charitable or loving thing you witnessed recently?.. in your homes, in the workplace, at church, at a park, anywhere, big things or little things
