Random Act of Kindness: Day Thirty-one

Random Act of Kindness: Day Thirty-one 
Our Mission: A Bouquet of Kindness 
Our Location: The Dollar Tree 
Our Target: Clerk at the Dollar Store 


We went to Sam's and picked up a Spring bouquet and the boys made a beautifully decorated kindness card with flowers colored all over it. We drove over to the Dollar Store (after debating where to take the flowers, they boys first wanted to go to Walmart).  I pulled up to the front of the store and told the boys they could go in and I'd be watching from the front window.  They went inside to give it to the only clerk working tonight. She had a line of people and when they gave her the flowers they just stood there. I was outside the store window watching and wondering why they were just standing there. Cooper turned around and mouthed she wanted to give them a hug (and he made a hug sign with his arms hugging the air) I made the ok sign back to him. The ladies that were in line that were walking out told me how nice the boys were for doing that. Elliott came out and said the clerk said that "we were going to make her cry that no one has given her flowers in a very long time".....then Elliott said she asked about Cub Scouts (they had just come from a meeting and were in their uniform) and asked if they were doing it for their Pack....they said no. She asked them if they were doing this with a church...they said no. They told her it was an act of Kindness from our family. She smiled and said "Thank You" and gave them each a big hug. You never know how something so little can mean so much to someone else...with each random act, we get a glimpse of that....We've had so many great ideas for our kindness goodie bags from the Dollar Store, though all of the the items there are just one dollar...but the kindness is priceless!
