You two are really a creative team..<br />My kindness is not about me, but my 15 year old twin grandsons. They stopped their usual pool games at my sister's to play and help a 3 year old boy that recently had some surgery on his left arm. They guided him, made sure he could safely go where ever he wanted (he had a good life jacket on) and only played games he could play for over 2 hours. The mom was in tears as she said most kids would not stop their fun times to do that and she told me we had really taught those kids about being kind to younger kids. Made me a very proud Mimi. I hope I have taught all my grandchildren about kindness - I had a sticker on a previous car that I try to hold true - <br />Do A Random Act of Kindness Today.MimiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514473530930844538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-39375313084285060862018-06-27T10:13:26.034-05:002018-06-27T10:13:26.034-05:00I have never seen anything like your fountain....I...I have never seen anything like your fountain....I love it! You always amaze me with your ideas! LOVE LOVE your vision for the nozzle...only you my dear! xx Loretta did such a beautiful job of painting it for you too.<br />I have an interesting story about kindness....hubby and I visited our daughter and son-in-law in Raleigh over the weekend. They just moved into their first home together so we went to help them settle which entailed hanging pictures. We all drove to the local Lowe's,and the boys grabbed what they needed and we all headed to cash out. A beautiful older woman was sitting at the register, her name was Carol. I couldn't help but say, "Carol you are really beautiful," she replied, "Honey, you've made my day. I have Cancer and am in Chemotherapy right now. I don't feel very pretty and smiled!" My daughter and I were shocked....I had no idea when I said this that she was in such a dark place in her life. As we exited my daughter and I both could not believe this woman was still at work smiling while inside of her was this terrible Cancer demon.

She did a very big act of kindness for me this week. I just opened her package of 3 books she wanted to share with me from her collection. We both recently discovered our love of cooking memoirs and that our shelves both hold so many of the same authors. And she went to the trouble to do all this for me in the midst of AC failure in her house in the hot summer temps. <br /><br />I think the midwest grows very thoughtful and sweet women!<br /><br />Thank you, Kris!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-41370771261671497292018-06-26T13:02:18.310-05:002018-06-26T13:02:18.310-05:00I’ve been away from home so I missed your other po...I’ve been away from home so I missed your other post.

Her mother (also my friend!) is on her death bed at home, and I've been able to spend time with her while my friend has to work. I took care of a bit of laundry, and we've been able to feed them as well. It's a hard time, and having gone through a similar situation with my dad several years ago, I understand how difficult it is. This sweet friend helped me through that time by sending daily prayers and encouragement through texts (as we were 600 miles apart). Sure love when we can give back to friends who've given so much to us. A side note, I just bought a pillow cover for my shabby office that has that exact same bicycle print!! This little wall hanging would go perfectly with it!

I also put in a couple of sites on Amazon that sell similar signs that you might like.<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Grow-Old-Along-Best-Yet/dp/B01BQVNVB6/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1530026593&sr=1-2-fkmr2&keywords=bike+sign+best+is+yet+to+come<br /><br /><br /><br />This site has the exact one I found at Home Goods but they are sold out but will get more in so you can leave your email and they will let you know when new stock comes in. For some reason it would not let me copy the link<br /><br /><br /><br />It is at www.zuilly.com <br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for helping at the volunteer outreach ministry that sounds wonderful and so rewarding. Thank you so much for coming by and good luck.<br /><br /><br /><br />Give me your email and if I come upon this at my HomeGoods I can contact you and get it to send to you too.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />KrisJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-54589479979259221702018-06-26T10:11:19.459-05:002018-06-26T10:11:19.459-05:00Oh my gosh even when you try to do an act of kindn...Oh my gosh even when you try to do an act of kindness recipients of your kindness have to be weary. That is what is so sad that when someone offers you a ride that right away your mind goes to someone trying to harm you. I am glad you could show her that not all people are bad in this world. That what we hear on the news and read in the papers are not how we are as a whole. That there are good people that just want to be kind. So bravo to you for seeing this women and knowing how hot it was and that she had a long walk. You gave her a beautiful act of kindness and also taught her that not everyone has a mean motive when they help. God does put people in our paths for a reason. His was for you to teach this lady that there still is goodness and kindness in the people we live around in our communities.<br /><br />So you my angel warrior deserve a big hug and pat on the back for this act of kindness. Thank you from my heart.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />KrisJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-45761770465912086342018-06-26T08:01:46.997-05:002018-06-26T08:01:46.997-05:00Hello Kris, such a delightful giveaway.

Since I'm not very lucky, I'd love to know where you got the adorable bicycle sign. God willing, we plan to "totally" retire in about a year and I'd love to have one of them to hang by our front door as a sweet reminder of times to come. As for paying it forward, I'm fortunate to volunteer at an outreach ministry where we get to do wonderful things for wonderfully deserving people every day. Without a doubt, it is the most rewarding work I've ever done!

I have always loved to hear fountains, what a relaxing sound:) Tomorrow my son is seeing his tutor for the last time this summer. I pay her by the hour but teachers are routinely underappreciated. So I bought her a gift card to get something just for herself, hoping to show her that we truly value her time and appreciate her.

I helped her with planting some Canna Lilies I had already started. Her deck area looks great and she was really pleased. As the canna lily grow she will have a private area, as they can grow up to 6 to 8 feet tall.<br /><br />I am so happy you will be blogging. I am blessed with the friendship we have built.<br /><br />Hugs to Terry!!

I think it is easier to read and connect here. I love the giveaway! I started a new job and met some nice ladies that needed something that would make their days easier. I was able to assist in that I had some extras that I really wasn't using. So I just gifted them on. I'm sorry to be vague but one of them reads your blog and I really didn't do this to get any "credit" I just felt they both could use the items more than I needed them and felt in my heart that I needed to gift them to these lovely ladies.
