Random Act of Kindness: Day Twenty-three
Our Mission: Sunday Morning Surprise
Our Location: A house in our neighborhood
Our Target: An unsuspecting family to receive a breakfast blessing!!
This morning we went to Krispy Kreme to get breakfast and picked up an extra dozen of Hot Fresh Now doughnuts. We enjoyed our breakfast and waited until after 9AM to go out and deliver the goodies. The boys really wanted to take their Memaw and PawPaw to see a "ding dong ditch" in action...we place our homemade kindness card, a curly ribbon bow on top of the box and off we went. We drove around the neighborhood looking for a house that had lights on inside (signs that we would not be waking someone up) We found a few with lots of cars and a few with lights on. (We soon realized that some houses may have had a St. Patrick's Day part or may have been out late and may not enjoy an early morning surprise). We thought for sure we'd find a house nearby that was up and getting ready for church. We had to be sure someone was home, and that we were not waking someone up. It was close to 9:15, so it was not too early for a surprise. We knew of a house that had children and the boys decided that would be the one. They walked up to the door, rang the bell twice and knocked on the door. I prepared my mom and dad to watch the boys faces as they run back to the car (which is truly the priceless part of a ding dong ditch). They are "running for their lives" racing back to the car. Elliott got to the car and said "go go go, we heard someone say 'who's there' and they were coming to the door". Cooper said the same. We drove off laughing from the excitement of watching them run back to the car. We hope the family enjoys their Sunday morning Surprise ♥
