It was a windy, snowy day in December. I was a young Dad who had saved just enough cash to buy my children a few presents for Christmas. As I walked to the store, I saw the Salvation Army kettle with a man ringing a bell standing beside it. Next to him was his daughter, a little girl no more than three feet tall. I took a dollar bill out of my wallet and dropped it into the kettle. As the man was thanking me, though, I felt a pressure on my legs. I looked down and saw that the little girl was giving me her own thank-you hug. I smiled down at her, bent down and hugged her back. Then I went inside feeling a warmth that no winter wind could ever take away.

Thinking back on that moment reminded me that no good deed ever goes without paying off. We may not always get a heart-felt hug immediately but in time every act of giving, goodness and love that we make flows from heart to heart and soul to soul, around the world and back to us again.

______ Every good deed brings a little bit of Heaven here to Earth. Don’t let this sometimes world get you down then. Don’t let the problems and pains of life pull you from your purpose. Share your love today! Give from your heart. Fill your life with acts of kindness. Let God’s light shine through everything you say and everything you do.
