I am joining up with Kate to reflect on the Lenten season in a new light. In the light of kindness to others. Kate's request is that we document an act of kindness that we have witnessed or taken part in.
This week has been full of international acts of kindness in the after effects of the quake/tsunami/nuclear reactor situation in Japan. Watching that country pull together and hold each other up has been amazing. There have been no reports of looting or taking advantage of one's neighbor. This impresses me to no end. And then of course you have so many countries pulling together money and aid to help them out.
Closer to home this week has been the annual food drive at work. My co-workers have been busy pulling together raffles, auctions, Wii tournaments, drop boxes, you name it, in order to help stock the dwindling food shelves in our area. The number of people that rely on food shelves these days, whether it is a one time thing or an ongoing basis, continues to rise. It has felt good to be a small part of helping a large situation.
Care to share any acts of kindness you witnessed this week? Pop on over to Kate's blog to learn all about it.
