I was at Jared Jewelers in Jacksonville today. For a small price they were selling Stuffed Dogs for St Jude's Children's Hospital. The salesman hit me up for one and I said sure. A young woman waiting beside me was asked as well. She hesitated, but said yes. When I checked out, I asked the clerk to pay for mine and for hers and to leave the random acts card for her and then I left. I can't say what about that young lady that caused me to want to give to her - she just seemed so kind and humble. I was so pleased to do so; and she never knew who I was. Our pastor at Beach Church told me about ROAC today. We all-every human being- needs to do this for someone. I tis what we were made to do.

Amazingly, I have been trying to find a wonderful way to make someones day and I am constantly being blessed by others. Since we have started the randomactofchristmas at BUMC, somone has helped me put my Christmas lights up outside, the gentleman who helped me is experiencing really hard times, he is actually sleeping in his car two houses down, a woman in JC Penny's gave me her 20% discount, and someone gave me a chicken salad sandwich from a fast food store. I am blessed every day it seems. It was funny the other day my husband and I saw four elderly people pulled over on the side of the road and we thought they needed help so we turned the car around and sped to help, but evidently there wasn't a problem because they were pulling back out as we got there. Oh well, we'll keep trying.

Sunday, December 6 I recieved an act tonight and it meant more than that person could have known. Me and my three children were leaving Indianapolis tonight about 6pm and stopped at the Mcdonalds by 71st and Binford. We were supposed to leave earlier but were delayed because of a dead battery. When I tried to pay for our food the cashier told me that the car ahead of us had already paid and gave me the card that I am guessing they asked her to pass on. I wish I knew who they were because I would love to say thank you. What that person didn't know is that I am a single mother and have been going through a really bad time right now, worse than I have ever experienced, and as I was waiting in line to pay for our food I was counting what little money I had left, making a mental note of how far I had to stretch what was left until I got paid again. I have been so down and so alone lately and that $10 might not have been much to the person who did this but it touched me more than they could have known. I hope that person reads this and I hope you know that your "random act of christmas" was given to a person who was at their lowest time and ready to give up. Thank you!

My husband and I went through a Chick-Fil-A drive through this morning and when we went to pay the lady told us that the woman in front of us had paid and gave us the random acts of christmas card. Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
