Today I witnessed a random act of kindness. While standing in line in the vending machine/break room waiting to use the microwave before my next class, I heard a bang behind me. When I turned around, I saw a student hitting the vending machine. He was trying to help a professor get his stuck sandwich. But to no avail, the sandwich wouldn't budge! The professor decided to swipe his card again, buying two sandwiches. He handed one to the student helping and said, smiling, "Would you like a sandwich?" This immediately put a smile to my face. The professor took advantage of an opportunity to serve (can you think of a greater act of kindness for a poor, starving college student?!). I stood there thinking, "I saw that!" I wanted the professor to know that his service hadn't gone unnoticed--it never does. Someone is always watching, even if that someone is our Father in Heaven. What a Divine Signature I saw today.
It made me wonder, have I served today?
You are so good at seeing those small moments :) Thank you for being such a great example!
