In response to “random acts of kindness”:
These are happening all the time.
Recently, at the Northmead Square, at a trolley in the parking area, an elderly woman was repacking her purchases into carry bags, with the assistance of a car guard and security man.
I asked if she was okay and was told she was dividing the weight, to make it easier to carry.
Although out of my way, and with time-constraints, I gave her a lift quite a way from the square.
It would have been a long, heavily laden walk for her.
Just stopping to help folk find products, reach some, check prices etc., give correct directions, is something any one can do, specially if done with a cheerful smile.
Random acts of kindness have been my way for years.
“Help-Line” has generally cared for and fed from 50 to over 100 people per week, 52 weeks per annum. In December this had been done for 47 years.
Because of constantly high food prices, rising petrol prices (again soon) and toll roads adding to the burden, we now feed fewer than 50 folk per week.
As people find employment, move away, or leave the planet, they are not replaced.
These are just a few examples of what one person can do.
Good luck to all those who care, and actually do something for others.
I believe in the universal exchange of energy.
Recently, my 1985 Ford Sierra broke down; a complete stranger not only rescued me, but, with a friend, towed, then repaired the car, and at present is hunting for a thrust bearing on a second repair.
I hope he finds the necessary parts to get “Help Line” back on the road to collect and deliver.
Dankie Gerrie, and bless you and your friend.
