Yiksa Miksa, maybe I need to re-think this “act of kindness” (AOK) weekly post idea. In searching for poignant stories of people selflessly helping others, as Jesus requests/commands, I found mostly stories of kind acts turning into disasters or rudely brushed off by the recipients. Like this one and this one and this one and this one. And then there’s this one, where the woman practically DEMANDED the kindness (which kind of evaporates the positive glow, at least for me).

Finally, I found this story. You could definitely argue that the act itself was miniscule, but as a dog lover who recently lost his dog of 14 years and remembers oh too well that last walk, I say it qualifies.
