Random Acts of Kindness

I am along time resident of Ketchikan, born and raised here. It was on a cold and raining day this week while sewing in my Sew Suite and recovering from a (mild) case of the shingles that a young lady knocked at my door. She explained that it was her birthday and that to celebrate she was doing random acts of kindness. She handed me a large gift bag with necessary items in it. I thanked and wished her a Happy Birthday and waved to the group of friends down on the sidewalk.

Well..... 3 years ago a young man looking for drug money interred our house robbing us of money and a lot more. It’s an ugly story.  Then a year later my husband was physically assaulted when taking a walk. Another ugly story. Ketchikan was and is a different place now.

This gal who gave to me may believe it was a random act of kindness, but to me it wasn’t random at all. It was Faith, Hope and Charity all wrapped up in one. And I thank her again.
