A man often bought oranges from an old lady.After they were weighed, paid for and put in his bag, he would always pick one from his bag, peel it, put a segment in his mouth, complain it's sour and pass on the orange to the seller.
The old lady would put one segment in her mouth and retort, "why, it's sweet," but by then he was gone with his bag.His wife, always with him, asked, "the oranges are always sweet, then why this drama every time?"
He smiled, "the old mother sells sweet oranges but never eats them herself. This way I get her to eat one, without losing her money. That's all."
The vegetable seller next to the old lady, saw this everyday.
She chided, "every time this man fusses over your oranges, and I see that you always weigh a few extra for him. Why?"
The old lady smiled, "I know he does this to feed me an orange, only, he thinks I don't understand. I never weigh extra. His love tilts the scale slightly every time."
I am a big believer in acts of kindness, no matter how small.There's no shop that sells kindness, we must develop with in us.Although doctors can now successfully transplant Hearts, they can never transplant a kind loving and warm one.
Life's joys are in these sweet little gestures of love and respect for our fellow beings.O God, Grant us always the ability to show such amazing kindness and Gestures.Blessed are those whose hearts beats with loving kindness for other peoples sake, they are the jewels of creation and reflect god in their actions.
Kindness one of the greatest gifts that you can bestow upon another.If someone is in need lend them a helping hand.Do not wait for a "thank you". you don't do good things so that others watch and appreciate you, you do it because you believe in it. True kindness should never act with conditions, It is not a business, but It lies with in the act of giving with out the expectation of something in return It is contagious so pass it on.Let kindness inspires kindness.
