My parents were celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary with a special lunch at Cassegrain, Port Macquarie yesterday when they experienced the most generous act of kindness. Two lovely ladies with a young child sitting in the corner, must’ve seen them come in, saying that it was their anniversary, and paid for their meal before leaving. Mum and Dad were in disbelief and so delighted to receive this...

When I was in my early twenties my wife, kids, and I lived in a tiny one bedroom apartment above what used to be a drug store. We moved the dining table out of the room next to the kitchen and put it in the living room. Then we put two small beds there for our children. My son was only four and my daughter two. My wife was pregnant with our 3rd child as well. One day I was letting my wife rest in...

I'm 9 months pregnant, due any day now, and I had a nail in my front tire. I was on my way to the auto shop to get it fixed when my tire blew out! Thankfully, I didn't lose control of my vehicle but I was so scared. I pulled into the first parking lot I could get to, which was a random motel in La Puente, CA, USA. I was so scared and contemplating what to do as my husband was at...

I finally got an opportunity for a random act today. An elderly lady's card was declined at one of the registers in front of me. While she was rummaging around unsuccessfully trying to find cash, I peeked at the balance while being called up to the next cashier. Only $15.50. I sneak attacked. She asked me..."but how do I pay you back?" I said, "You...

It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dingy from so many winters wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She is such a sweet, loving soul that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me...

I had spent some time in the morning talking to my granddaughter about being 'generous' she had a lot of chocolate and lollies from going to the local show and buying sample bags. I asked her had she thought about how she was going to share her good fortune with her step sister? "No!" she said. Which was what prompted my gentle encouragement to share and why being generous is a...

Last night I had run up to the store and I was walking and a young couple were in front of me laughing and cracking jokes about a woman's weight who was on a mobility scooter trying to load her groceries and struggling. I saw she was tearing up so I stopped and asked if I could help. She said yes and I loaded her groceries and told her to ignore those jerks. Turns out she has MS and...

I work in a small but busy emergency department and, as every year, winter is picking up and our workload is very high. Anyway the last few days we’ve been finding very tiny ducks with numbers written on them all over the department. Suspecting a mischievous colleague, the paramedics or the police, but I love that someone did this to put a smile on our face when we find a tiny...

Sitting with a group of friends at a coffee shop in Queensland today when a fire crew pulled up to get smoko. One of our group jumped up and paid in advance for the coffees. As they approached, our group clapped and cheered. They were somewhat surprised to get this reception. They had lost one of their own this week from injuries received when fighting a big industrial fire. They came and...

It was a Summer afternoon a long time ago. I was a little boy watching my favorite rerun on our tiny little television set. All that was about to change, however. CRACK! BOOM! the lightening and thunder sounded. Suddenly my Mom ran into the living room, unhooked the antenna wire and dropped the metal claws into a glass mason jar by the TV. I started to complain but knew better. Mom wasn’t going to risk...

I was eighteen years old. I had borrowed my Mom’s beat-up, blue Pontiac for the day. I was driving 12 miles to the county newspaper office. I had on the seat beside me a short one page story I had written and I hoped to get it published that day. I was excited, nervous, and a little scared. What if the publisher didn’t want it? When I arrived I parked across the road and knocked on the...

Our beautiful daughter ran out of petrol on the motorway yesterday afternoon about two kilometres from the service station (she has learned the lesson to not push it that far again). She rang us frightened and in a not good position so close to traffic speeding past at 110. Her partner didn't answer his phone nor did her friend. We live over an hour away and we were so...

I am on the receiving end of the most astonishing acts of kindness. Three weeks ago I met a young woman, on line, who wanted to work but couldn’t do so because her English is poor and she has difficulty communicating. Retired and in my 70s I was not in a position to offer her work, but, with a background is in Adult Education I offered to teach her English. Bea accepted...

I went to pay, you had paid for my petrol. $85.00 … That’s a huge amount of money...
