Acts of Kindness 💞

I for one am a bit drained from the doom and gloom, so here’s a thread dedicated to whole hearted kindness.

Kicking it off with a WWII army vet and the crew of Arby’s showing their love and support for their dedicated customer.

The world needs more love :purple_heart:

great idea for a thread! definitely deserves to be at the top all the time! random acts of kindness make the world a better place!

Now this is wholesome. While the media is fixated on ICE and protests, one man decided to take a step in a positive direction by volunteering to feed the community.

“I’m not here because I’m virtue-signaling or because this is a one day a year thing for me. I’m here because this is part of my regular practice of being a citizen, and I want to encourage everyone who sees this to do something like it where you live.”

So, Zimmern clocked in at “radical soup kitchen” Soup for You, cooking and serving one of his favorite recipes, “Grandma Zimmern’s Tailgating Pot of Love,” made with kielbasa and peas. He posted on Instagram about the experience on Jan. 23

“The grace that they offer their guests. You know, they serve people? You don’t line up; you sit at a table, and you’re waited on by the volunteers,” Zimmern says of the pay-what-you-can cafe. “You’re brought a tray with desserts from the same bakery that I buy my Thanksgiving pies at.”

Zimmern did this alongside a group of other volunteers, all focused on nourishing the shell-shocked community.

What a great guy. wow. let’s be the media that focuses on the positive then! Let’s get this going :grinning:

“No 88-year-old in America should have to work because they need to, and that breaks my heart,” Weidenhofer told WXYZ.

“Ed fought for his country, he worked his whole life, and now it’s our turn to fight for him. If you’ve ever been moved by someone’s courage, if you believe our elders and veterans deserve dignity, please consider contributing. Even sharing this story can help us reach more people who want to make a difference,” Weidenhofer wrote on the fundraiser

so generous and great!

Lovely story. Bless them.

Not many WWII vets left. If this gentleman signed up at 18yo, it must have been in 1945 near the wars end. [Many vets in the same position then signed up for the Korean War]

I’m a good swimmer but with big waves I get a bit panicky.

Keeping it together for four hours is incredible.

What an incredible feat by anyone, much less a 13yo boy.
That area is a migratory path for great white sharks. The mother did well to keep it together.
In the same predicament I’d much prefer to swim than stay behind, treading water in the deep ocean waters, knowing that there’s great whites out there.
