Helping Others

Friday 24 October 2008 @ 1:24 pm

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.

Conn. motorists get cash, card from unknown pair in green T-shirts, caps

Associated Press
PLAINVILLE, Conn. - They don’t climb tall buildings in a single bound, but the mysterious “Gas Men” are super heroes to some fed-up motorists.

The unknown duo were dressed in sunglasses, baseball caps, khakis and matching green golf shirts when they gave Gayle Kilburn a $100 bill on Thursday as she filled up her car at a Citgo in Plainville.

They also handed her a card that read “Re-Fueling Our Community” and was signed “The Gas Men.”

With fuel prices where they are today what a great sentiment or random act of kindness these Men performed.

LUDINGTON, Mich. - A woman who lost her class ring in Lake Michigan in 1954 has it back, thanks to a metal-detector hobbyist.

Robert Savage told the Ludington Daily News for a story Saturday that he found the ring about 12 years ago but only recently began looking for its owner.

He did a bit of detective work by looking at the initials and the year on the ring. He found a Ludington High yearbook for 1955 and found that Jan Pedersen was the only person in the class with the right initials.

Now Jan Zacharda, she says she had forgotten about the ring she lost at Ludington State Park. And she’s even more puzzled that Savage found it in a lake about a dozen miles away.

Zacharda now wears the ring on her index finger, where it fits better.

This is what Kindness in Motion is all about, going out of your way make someone else’s day. Kindness - Pass it On!
