“The best portion of a good man’s life is
his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.”
~ William Wordsworth
A couple I
know went for a weekend beach getaway with their children and another family. On the last day of the mini vacation, the
children wanted to spend time at the beach and the pool after they had checked
out from their rooms, so the families planned to load up their cars with their
suitcases and stay at the hotel for a while.
As one of the mothers handed her husband a tote bag with her make up and
toiletries to place in the car, it occurred to her that stowing it in
90-degree heat would not be a good idea, but the bag was too heavy for her to
carry around. Without her mentioning it,
the husband told her that he would carry the bag because putting it in the car would
not be good for her makeup. And carry
the bag he did – for a couple of hours at the hotel and then for another two
hours at a mall that the mothers decided to visit before they departed for
home. Given the number of products that
this mother had packed, carrying the bag around for hours was no small thing.
