It was about three weeks ago when my son and his father went to the grocery store (Wal-Mart) to buy some goods. At the checkout, my son's shoe fell off and the lady behind him picked it up. Both adults were occupied at the time because Eddie, my son's dad, was loading the groceries onto the checkout belt and the lady was trying to put Kaiden's shoe back on.
That's when a tall man about 6'8" with long hair walked up to both of them and handed them a Wal-Mart gift-card. He then just walked off before either one could ask a question or thank him. Eddie couldn't believe that someone would just give him a gift card. He thought it might have been a joke or something. He didn't use the card at that time, but paid cash for our groceries.
When he got home, he found out that the gift-card had $25 dollars on it. Now, that is a gift of Kindness! Eddie wished that he had thanked the man. He said that if he ever saw him again he would make sure to give him a big thank you. We really appreciated that money and used it for my son. We bought him a new Elmo, since his was getting to be ragged out.
