Letter: Good deed made my day

A huge and heartfelt thank you to the gentleman who was in Meijer’s on October 16. He had a few items, among them two or three small pumpkins.

To my surprise I was informed by the cashier that my groceries had been paid.

I firmly believe we have angels with us either in human form or those that are unseen-spiritual entities. So much of the time we experience rudeness, impatience or disrespect and through these editorials we read of the hurt that is caused by those who take things or pets that don’t belong to them. But each of us can counteract these actions by sharing kindness. If we are unable to pay forward, we then can give a smile, share a kind word or open a door.

Each day is filled with blessings. Take a moment to acknowledge at least one (even during hard times) during your day. Be thankful for such things as to hear the songs of a bird; to see the beauty of nature; to be able to walk with a friend; or to have been touched by an angel. You never know when one will cross your path.
