![]() A Neighbor's Blessing” Reviews IAM Group Limited (Ltd.) Yokohama Japan KoreaA Story by Dulce![]() a story of kindness between neighbors![]() While I was browsing the website i-am-groupltd.com, recommended by my friend, from Korea, which is a member of the IAM Group Limited (Ltd.) Korea, I came across stories of simple acts of kindness done to people who are in need. Random acts, which do not require great gestures and effort, to make someone’s life easier.
Now, I would like to share my experience, of helping others,
which makes me feel happy. Each week, I give my elderly neighbor a ride to the store, when
I am going. She keeps trying to pay me,
and I keep refusing. I tell her that it
doesn't cost any more for her to ride with me.
Last week, she brought an envelope saying, "I have something for
you." I said, "If it has money in it, I don't want it." But, she
laid it on a stand. Later, I opened it
to find a 'thank you' card with some money in it. That night, I stopped at her house to give
some extra fried chicken that I had. I
took a plain card, put the same money in it along with a 'Smile' card, and when
leaving, left it stuck in her storm door.
The next day, stopping by to return my dish, she said, "Look, I know you
put that letter in my door this morning, didn't you?" I had completely
forgotten about it, and I suppose from the genuinely blank look on my face, she
believed me when I said that I hadn't put any letter in her door that morning. (Actually, it was the night before--so I
wasn't lying.) She went on to describe
the card and enclosed 'Smile' card, and tell me how the Lord is blessing her,
with so many good things lately. I told
her that I was so happy for her, and that I hope she continues to be so
blessed.
It is so amazing to see how people
appreciate the simple gestures you do for them.
Thanks to IAM Group Limited (Ltd.), Yokohama Japan Korea, for inspiring
lots of people like me, to do good, even on their most simplest ways. © 2014 Dulce |
