Being Kind and the Reward

I know we all do things in life

for others, maybe just a kind word at

the right time, a pat on the back or a hug.

Maybe we bought someone a meal

when they needed it or 

donated to someone in need.

Whatever the reason, we do these

things without expecting anything in return.

But sometimes, either right away, 

a month or two later, or even 

may years later, that kindness

is returned. 

I tell you that to say, 

Saturday evening chilling on the couch

I saw Fed Ex pull in the driveway.

I knew I had not ordered anything, 

1. but I remember that last week,

a woman I went to school with, 

lives in Ga. said she sent me something

to play with while I recovered, 

but cause I lived so far out,

it would not get to me

till Tue. or Wed.

So, I just thought, maybe I was 

getting an early delivery.

I went out on the porch to 

this large box. I slide it in with

my foot and legs to not lift

on it. It was heavy. Here again I 

am thinking, what is this and 

who really sent it.

After opening the box, I 

find this...

HAHA....course I had to pull

pieces out of the box

to see that this is what is in 

there, in pieces.

Well, I knew P2, that is my 

friend from Ga., her name is 

Pam, did not send this to me.

 Her last name starts with 

a D, but when in school, her

last name started with an M, just

like mine. When we reconnected on 

FB years later, we were on a photographer

FB page and we went as P1 (me) and P2 (her)

were known. Why?

I was Pam Montgomery

MON

she was Pam Mossack

MOS

and N comes before S!

HAHA

I posted on my FB that someone

needed to own up to this delivery.

My daughter called and asked did 

I get a delivery. I knew she did not do

it but it was a given she knew about 

it.

A friend of hers, Misty from way back 

when, a woman I have not

seen in YEARS, ordered it for me.

????????

It started with this post

from me~

locked into resting today to heal. Pain is dull, until I have to go. But, I am really good at handling pain since I live with it daily. So, while taking it easy, my mind is running. I plan on getting a great flower garden established for next yr. with a lot of drought resistance plants. A flower bed to me needs fun along with flowers so I am looking for someone that has an old wheelbarrow and maybe an old red wagon they no longer want that you will not charge an arm and leg for.....Doc bills to pay is taking most of my funds. Thanks, and if you are a Nashville friend, I can pick up.

So MIsty, wanted to get me a wagon

for my yard work. I had considered

getting one of these that would hook to

my mower to make yardwork and

making flowerbeds easier but when

I made the above post, I was looking

for props for the flowerbeds.

haha...

But with this, Misty has made my

yard work so much easier on my body.

Question~ Why would she do this?

Here is the text Amber got from

Misty.

WHAT?

Problem is, I don't remember

treating her any differently than

any of the other kids that came

to the house. I just treated her

like one of mine.

But, apparently, my kindness did not

go unnoticed to a teen girl.

You know what I did? CRIED!

I am still tearing up with this

post.

These girls, Amber, Misty and the

rest are in their early 40s and this

woman carries those thoughts.

OH MY GOSH....

I always tried to teach my kids

to be kind, to never look

down at someone different,

to not judge....even though there

are times that I know I

had a hard time following

that advice.

This just shows you, a small word,

a pat on the back, a hug can go

a long way,

Pam
