Today’s Kindness Stories

Breaking bread

Before work one day last December, I stopped at a deli and ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. It was toasty warm, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. But as I left the store, I noticed an older indigent gentleman sitting at the bus stop. Knowing it would probably be his only warm meal of the day, I gave him the bagel. But all was not lost for me. Another customer from the deli offered me half of her bagel. I was so delighted because I realized that in one way or another, we are all looked after. —Liliana Figueroa, Phoenix, Arizona

Full of Life and Love

About ten years ago, around Christmas time, I was in a restaurant with some co-workers for lunch. An elderly couple entered and the gentleman was obviously suffering from the effects of a severe stroke. But as I watched these two, they were so full of life and love for each other and the normally pessimistic person I am seemed to melt away. I was so touched, I asked the waitperson for their bill. I asked her not to indicate who had paid for them. Now, each year at Christmas, I look for a senior citizen or couple and anonymously pay the tab.
