We might be different but we can still reach out and help each other in  a time of need.

Here is an act of kindness worth mentioning, Kamloops Alliance Church parishoners donated over 5000 lbs of Food at a ThanksGiving weekend service for the Kamloops Food Bank.

The following week Kamloops Rotary group collected another 20,000 lbs of Food for the Food Bank. With the food bank shelves looking pretty bare this latest infusion will help get them past the toughest part of the year.

If you have been following Matt and his antics you know he travels the globe and video records his unique “dance” style to share with the world. Do something fun and pass on some Sun!

It is great to see Hollywood get behind the Pay it Forward campaign. The Kindness in Motion Team is always looking for ways to encourage others to do just that, Pay it Forward. Consider treating a friend to this Movie, you never know what seed it will plant or the good it will do.

To the Kindness in Motion Team this image literally means we hold the Sun in our hands and if we choose we can pass on some Sun to another person each and everyday. Make today the day you pass on some Sun to an anonymous recipient.

Pay for someone’s coffee, toll fee or lunch in a fast food drive thru. Deliver some baking or cut someone’s lawn. Remember, YOUR ripple can start a WAVE ~

Start by downloading some smile cards and performing an anonymous act of kindness, after completing your kind act leave the card which will hopefully encourage the recipient to do same.

Pass on some SUN!!!!

We know this principle because it’s true in every area of life. Whatever we sow, we are going to reap:

· If we’re judgmental, then others will judge us.

· If we’re critical all the time, then others will criticize us.

· If we gossip about others, then others will gossip about us.

· If we’re jealous, then others will be jealous of us.

Whatever we give out, we’re going to get back. As the old saying goes, “What goes around, comes around.”

On the other hand, we can sow the positive. If we sow encouragement, affirmation, and kindness, others will give back encouragement, affirmation, and kindness. If we sow love, people are going to sow love back to us. God wired the universe that way.

And, we always get back more than we give. Always! This great excerpt was from Rick Warren at Purpose Driven Life.

“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.” Lao Tzu

“Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house… let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.”

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

11-year-old Boy Scout displays an act to make parents proud even though his own wallet is still missing.

DORR, Mich. — When 11-year-old Boy Scout, J.R. Bouterse found someone’s wallet containing $800 inside, he understood the empty feeling the person who lost it was going through.

Only a few weeks before, he had lost his own wallet and the $45 it contained.

Bouterse immediately told an adult about his discovery, which was turned over to a law-enforcement official and returned to its grateful owner.

“We’re just so proud of him,” said the boy’s mother, Michelle Bouterse, 41. “We can’t say enough.”

To reward the boy, the Michigan State Police threw a pizza party Monday night, not only for the law-abiding child but for all 30 Scouts in Troop 90.

Surprise guest
Another guest at the party, to J.R.’s surprise, was 20-year-old Jessica Cutler, the wallet’s owner, who wanted to personally thank him for his act of honesty.

“I can’t believe someone would find a wallet with that much money in it and not take some,” she said. “A lot of people maybe wouldn’t have done that same thing. I’m just glad he found it and not someone else.”

J.R. found the wallet while leaving a Scout meeting at the church about a week ago.

“I knew exactly how she felt,” he said. Unfortunately, J.R. wallet has not been returned which makes the story all the more incredible.

What a great story and we look forward to posting more of the same.
