Thought of the Day and another Story about Kindness

The value of kindness cannot

be measured in human terms.

An act of kindness enriches

the heart of both the

giver and the receiver.

Lost Wallet

One day I was walking down the street and noticed a wallet on the sidewalk. I picked it up and looked through it and found 63 dollars, credit cards along with some pictures. One of the pictures, a man and woman holding a small baby, struck me. I looked in the other pockets and found a piece of paper with a name and phone number. I called and left a message. Right away the wallet’s owner called me back and told me how grateful he was that I had not kept the money and decided to contact him. When we met later that day he thanked me very much and insisted on giving me ten dollars, to which I said no. May I suggest doing the same? If you ever find a lost item, contact the owner. Not only will you be making that person’s day, but also you are doing what is right.
