True act of Kindness

The simple acts of kindness comes to play every single day of my life.We are suppose to do a certain amount a day to complete our requirements but it has become so much more for me. It has become so very obvious in my life how I wouldn't be able to function or to stay centred without receiving them. Small acts to big acts given by people every single day without any thought of how it may have impacted the receiver. This weekend has brought back winter in our area with a vengence.My elderly mother has a big driveway with nowhere to pile the snow. She is always worried about clearing it almost as soon as it touches the ground. I hired someone to clear it in the fall but have been sadly disappointed with the results. So the task fell to me. Randy is away and my kids are tied up in their own lives.I posted a statement that I would not be able to lend a hand with our adopt a driveway sidewalk this snowfall in favor of my Moms.Then it happened, that single act of kindness. The big one that snapes you out of your bad feelings. The feeling that brings you back to watching "Little house on the prairie". The Regier family showed up in their big white truck, piled out with shovels in hand along with hugs and smiles to help shovel snow! They are a great team. The boys silently work along side of their parents without complaint and everyone flows around each other until the job is done. The spirit in which they preformed this act was so much more than the deed . I felt very humbled and inspired to put more effort into my own acts of kindness. Thank you Regier family it ment everything to me. Linda Shipalesky P.S. please overlook the spelling mistakes I seem to be having problems with my spell check
