Random-acts-of-goat-kindness

Today was a double random-acts-of-kindness kind of day!!  I was on my way to the store, but life had other plans for me!  While driving to the store I stopped for goats that were in the road.  The owner wasn't at home, so I guided the goats back into the backyard.  I noticed that there was no food or water, plus everything looked abandoned.  I knew they needed food, so I drove to the nearby co-op to buy some goat chow.  This is when the next random-act-of-kindness took place.  

As the goat food was being put in the trunk of my car, I saw a lot of bricks in the center of a busy intersection.  An elderly man was picking the bricks up one-by-one with cars swerving around him. Oh my!!  I crossed the street, and without any hesitation, the elderly man and I quickly worked to get the bricks off the busy street and into the back of his truck.  When we were done he told me his name was Martin and asked if I was a volunteer, I said, no, I was just over at the co-op buying goat food.  But, I smiled and thought to myself...ha ha ha...I am a volunteer for God and acts of love.  

The story gets better.  I took the chow back and fed the goats, and left a note on the door for my neighbor.  About an hour later, the goat owner called and told me he had lost his job and was living with a friend.  He was not able to afford food for the goats right now, and it meant a lot to him that I fed his goats that day.  I told him that I would help in any way that I could, and offered to keep the goats on my property.  He said he believed me.  I love touching people's lives personally through kindness, it’s a vehicle that allows an experience of God's love and grace to flow through us and do the real work of healing Souls
