Last month my kindness idea allowed me to meet some new people in my community.When I delivered their food, I also gave each my phone number so they could keep in touch if they wanted. All of them have called me since.
Having a bad spell with the MS has left me pretty much in bed the last 2 or 3 weeks and feeling pretty much helpless.
Yesterday, the young mother I had helped showed up at my house with a casserole. While she was here, she washed my dishes and carried out my trash. The young gentleman I helped, has been here twice, just to check on me and he has no transportation so he walked the several miles.
In helping others, I have made new friends . What a blessing.

Wow. When you gave out your phone number, you gave it so that you could be available to them if they needed help. I wonder if you were as surprised as I am, that they used your number to pay the kindness back! I still have much to learn x :)
