Kindness Given

"For it is in giving that we receive."
~ Francis of Assisi

A woman I know boarded a flight recently and struggled a bit to hoist her roller board up over her head and into the compartment above the seats.  She was hoping that someone might give her a hand, but no one appeared.  After she put away her bag, she turned to sit down when she saw an older woman a couple of rows up having a difficult time getting her bag into the overhead.  She quickly walked over to the woman and helped her get the bag up.  As she returned to her seat, she realized that as much as she liked having people help her, helping the older woman felt much better.
