Random acts of kindness

I am guessing most of you go through life and don't realize what a profound impact you have had on me. Today, I was able to witness something that I think is quite wonderful. I am still in Florida and Lindz had to pick someone up for church. I rode with her and things were good. After taking the lady home Lindsay got out of her car and gave this lady a hug. I saw her hug several people during the day. She may not have known but I was watching and could see how this brightened peoples days. Just seeing her loving all people regardless of their circumstance made me reflect on if I am loving people the way that I need.
I have witnessed similar experiences with each of you. I have seen acts of love that have touched my life. I am blessed with such wonderful examples in my life. I have great friends and a great family. They all love and support me in my life regardless. Amy, my sister-in-law, probably doesn't realize that when she sends me an email or leaves me a comment how great it makes me feel. I love her so much. Each of my sisters have sat and listened to me cry when I have nothing to cry about. Candice entertains me with her stories and always makes me feel really important around her. Nina, tells me like it is and is tries to help me see all perspectives on things. I could name so many things that people have taught me.
Heavenly Father knows us all perfectly and He knew to put each of you in my life. I am so blessed with this. I have friends that I have had since I was a little girl, how many people can say that. I'm so blessed in so many aspects of my life. I am grateful to all you for the examples you have been in my life. Those small things that you may think no one notices are almost always noticed by someone. I am still learning and trying but I am glad to have you all to help.
Anyways, I just couldn't sleep and this was on my mind. I should try since it is 3am.

People really don't realize that they are watched. It just shows that people do notice those little minuscule thing.
