I have so enjoyed asking people one question....
?? What is something nice that someone has done for you lately??
The responses have be wide and varied.
I asked Michelle this question and she responded,
"My six kids and I just moved to Utah from California and found out the winters were quite cold.
I had just started a job so funds were very thin.
I mentioned our situation to someone and they gave us a phone number for the crisis center, saying maybe they could assist us.
I called them....it was kind of noisy and the man seemed quite surprised by my request for coats for my kids.
He asked me to hold for a moment, when he returned he took our name and address, promising to bring us coats.
When they arrived with coats we were so surprised that it was not the crisis center I had called but Subway Sandwiches in Provo, Utah.
I had mis-dialed the number.
Wow, how grateful we were for their gifts!"

What is a "Nice Thing" that someone has done for you?
Response:
"I went to an exciting ball game with my father.
I was the little boy (I'm in my 40's) and my father was the Daddy (60's) ...
......just like old times when I was 10 yrs old or younger.
What occurred before the game was one of my all time highlights.
As we were hurrying to our seats my Dad said he was very hungry.
I promptly stopped at the concession stand and bought him 2 hot dogs.
After he put the fixings on them and took his first bite he heartfeltly stated,
"Son, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you buying these hot dogs for me.
Thank you! I was really getting in trouble." (Dad has diabetic symptoms)
For some reason tears came to my eyes and I became emotional...just like I am now.
Maybe, it was because I was finally able to do something profound for my father
or maybe I felt so much love and acceptance from him.
So I guess you can say one of the nicest things someone has done for me lately is to:
1. Allow me to buy them 2 hot dogs!
2. Be so very grateful to me for my generosity.
3. Their gratitude to me was really a grand gift to me.
