Kindness on Thanksgiving Eve

"If you are really thankful, what do you do?  You share."
~ W. Clement Stone

A woman I know had stopped at the grocery store to pick up a quick lunch as well as some supplies for a veteran she sees at a busy intersection.  At the cashier, she noticed that there was a gentleman behind her who seemed a little impatient.  To her surprise, he told an older woman behind him who was buying a juice to go ahead of him.  As the older woman fumbled to find the money in her purse, the woman I know took the juice from her and added it to her groceries.  The older woman thanked her and was on her way.  The gentleman then said to the woman I know, "That was a very kind thing to do."  And she acknowledged that he was the one who had let the woman go before him.  There seemed to be quite a bit of kindness in the air on Thanksgiving Eve.
