Good People in the World ♥

Sometimes I can be a very cynical person, just look at the news for a few minutes and you'll see why. But yesterday I had a chance to reflect on how the majority of people are good, decent, and kind people.

Yesterday afternoon, a police officer comes to my door and asks for Scott (DS). Cailyn had just gotten off the phone with him so thank goodness I wasn't worried any that. Turns out that Scott had dropped his wallet- full of cash- at the thrift store and someone had dropped it at the police station. He was there to return it.
(Funny sidenote-- I am standing on the front steps, the dogs barking their heads off inside, and he notifies me that he has a body cam active-- I'm still in my PJs, slippers, and hair in a messy bun. And I don't mean a cute, fashionable messy bun- I mean *messy*-- talk about a wreck of a housewife stereotype, ROTFLMAO!)

That reminded me of the time that my DD lost her wallet- also full of cash as she was on her way to deposit money for her tuition payment. A woman found it, looked at her license for the address, and drove it over to the house.

In spite of the bad news and predictions that civilization is ending, there are good people, we just don't hear about them as much. I am sending up thanks to both of them, they made such a difference in my kids' lives.

If any of you have a similar story to share, I would love to hear it, that restores my soul ♥

Oh my goodness Chris, what a Christmas miracle! Yes, there are still lots of good people in the world - thanks for sharing this wonderful story. I can just see you standing out on the porch. You can reflect on this for years to come.

I saw on the news yesterday: a woman who 8 years ago learned that 24 teens would not get any Christmas gifts, due to the parents couldn't afford it. (I assume she works at a school or something.) She wouldn't accept it, and got them gifts. Now it's grown, and with the help of fund raising, she estimated she will deliver 1250 Christmas gifts this year. Kids got toys, teens gift cards to clothes, and every family get some hygiene stuff, like tooth paste, tooth brushes, schampoo and so on. She was wrapping gifts & packing gifts like a maniac when the reporter interviewed her.

But that is such a sweet thing to read about! I definitely believe there is still a lot of kind and beautiful people out there in our world, unfortunately the media in general just like to report on all the bad stuff that people do rather than on the good things. :)
