Random

I have a friend who is a 'senior' though she doesn't look it. I want to be just like her when I grow up.

Most will never know that she carries Tim Horton coupons in her purse, and when someone she encounters, such as a cashier, looks kind of down or discouraged, she slips a coupon into their hand with a warm smile and a wish for things to get better.

She visits folks in hospitals and nursing homes on a regular basis. Makes meals for those who are grieving. Listens to people who just need a friend. And on and on and on. Every day.

Her life is random acts of kindness at every possible opportunity. She loves people the way their Creator loves them.

I wish we had more people like her in this world. But I must ask myself....what's my excuse if I'm not like that?
