I’m hoping the stranger who helped me gets to know how grateful I am. If this is shared on an act of Kindness on the morning Life 102.5 program, maybe she will hear it. I was in a store on the westside of Madison, Friday when I tripped and fell. The store clerk and a kind lady helped me to my feet as I was unable to get up by myself. She offered to help me to my car, but I was not injured and able to walk. Before I pulled out she came to my car and offered me a handle to attach to the car lock to help get into a vehicle. She wouldn’t accept any money just said it was used by her Mother who had passed away and would like to give me this precious gift if I was willing. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank her for such a precious gift. In my job I frequently transport elderly for shopping and appointments. This will be an immense help to them and myself. Such an act of kindness from an Angel. All I could do was say God Bless you. I hope I can someday pay it forward.

If you have kids who play summer sports, you know what it’s like running them to practices and games, spending money on uniforms and equipment, and maybe even witnessing other parents and coaches losing their cool on the sidelines. Tyler Turner of Athletes in Action Wisconsin talks about how parents can help instill godly values in their children – on and off the field.
