When I was an Avon representative, I would have my boys drive my route with me.  As a treat for the boys, I would take them to get them something to drink.  They loved it, especially on a hot day of running up to the doors of all the houses to hang the books on the knobs.

On this particular day, we decided to go to Caribou to get drinks (I’m sure mommy didn’t have any influence on that decision because I’m not addicted to Caribou Coffee or anything).

We get to the drive-thru and there are a couple people in line ahead of us.  And like any other trip to Caribou, I ask each of the 4 boys what they would like to drink.  We order our drinks (all 5 of them) and I dig out my money.  Once the gentleman in front of me pulls away, I proceed to the window.

The worker pops her head out of the window and asks if I would like to buy a bag of coffee.  I look at her a bit puzzled…they never ask that when you get to the window.  She proceeds to explain…

“That gentleman that was ahead of you just paid for all your drinks, so you don’t have a total.  So would you like to buy a bag of our coffee?”

SHOCKED!  I decided that since I have an obsession with like Caribou’s Coffee, that I would go ahead and purchase a bag of coffee…because, well, that coffee was a lot less than it would have been to buy 5 drinks.

What a great thing Random Acts of Kindness are!  Have you had someone do something nice for you?  Have you done a random act of kindness to someone else?

No one told me…

No one told me how this could be…
No one told me that I would get pregnant with twins.
No one told me that you’d come too early…
No one told me that walking into an NICU could be so emotional
No one told me that you could be so little, yet thrive.
No one told me that when you look at me I’d melt.
No one told me that I could love you the way I do.
No one told me that love could double the way it has.
No one told me that the blessings would be this great!

I feel…: loved
