When doing a random act of kindness, one doesn't expect anything in return.
Nor does one have any ulterior motives.

It's being Humble. It's being kind, and it's being non-Selfish.
In other words, it's being closer to God, because he is those things already.

When doing such acts, one must also make sure that they themselves are safe always, first and foremost.

Have you done such an Act? Or would you like to give a shout out to someone that you know who has done an act? It can be anything from holding a door open, to even someone telling you please or thank you. Some one that made your day, or you made theirs, simply from a hug, or a gesture, or manners, or morals.

The Little things in life definitely go a long way. I Truly Believe that Christmas is a frame of mind that should last year round, and not just during the Christmas season.

I try to have a pay-it-forward mentality, and hope that it has a ripple effect on others. I remember where it stemmed from as well. I use to ride my bike up to this small town grocery store, and buy candy there sometimes. One time I put to much candy on the counter, and didn't have enough money for it. I started to put one of the candies back when the gentleman behind me gave me an extra buck, and said here ya go. I said, are you sure? He said, yeah, it's fine. Just.....pay-it-forward.

One of the things about doing an act of kindness, it is not in keeping tabs on who, what, where or when. It is just your nature when you are in Christ. You wouldn't think to do otherwise, nor do you keep tabs.

If someone does something nice for me, or makes my day, I don't keep tabs. I simply remember it, is all, I'm saying.

Having Hope, and remembering good things in life is a great thing. Especially, with all the negativity within this World, and people trying to tear down others.

This reminds me! A lil while ago, the Lord prompted me to give back more to the community. A bit confusing though really as i still haven't been able to figure out how.

Several winters ago I was coming out of my general practitioners office(doctors office). So, there was this older black lady, walking with a Cain, and it was a bit icy out. I saw her, and walked quickly over to her, asking her if she wanted help in? She said yes, so I carefully took her under one arm, and we walked together inside.

True Story 2. In my late teens/early 20's I was young and dumb, and went to see one of thee Saw movies in theatres with my gf back then. Midway through the movie, a girl that looked younger than 17 came into talk with I'm guessing what one of her friends. What was the biggest issue with me was that she brought in a girl with her that looked like she was like 5 or 6 years old. The young girl was constantly frightened, and looked scared at what was going on, in the movie. Several minutes when by, and nobody was doing anything. So I forget what was said exactly, but I think that it was something to this effect. I went down, and said, this girl is scared, and she doesn't need to be seeing such things. I think that the girl replied with, well I can be here if I want. I simply replied with, ok, well, I will have to go get a worker, and they can escort you out, or you can please leave now? She ended up leaving shortly there after.

True Story 3. A couple just moved in next door to rent the place(Jan 1st of 2020). This was last Saturday, and they have a good sound system, with a really good base. Since around 4pm, till 10:30 at night, their windows were shaking, and my windows were shaking, and I'm almost positive they were shaking my neighbors windows. I was going to go over and say something at 9-9:30, but it was the weekend. They are new, so I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I live in a small town of around 2,000 people. From my understanding during the week most people go to bed around between 8:30 and 9:30 at night(a lot of farmers around here). During the weekend most people I do believe stay up around between 9:30-11:00, unless your part of the younger crowd, and then on the weekends it may be two hours later on each of those.

I normally keep to myself, but still try and respect my neighbors, by not pestering them in any way. So at 10:30 I went over and said: It's 10:30, please turn off your music. He said no problem, and they turned it off immediately. I stayed up late that night, but the basic principles of why I went over there, was not only just for myself, but for my neighbors as well. Plus I honestly believe as loud as it was, if they had continued to play it even an hour longer, somebody would have called a noise complaint in on them.
So, in my mind, it was a win win for everyone. I do believe my neighbors are some what either to intimidated, or to nice so to speak, to go over and directly say something to someone. Me, lol, well, I try and be nice and respectful about things, but I'm more direct.
