Monday Motivational...Just Because

 

If you’re like many of us these days, you want to read about something good in the news.  It brings a smile to our faces and reminds us of the good that exists within us.

Well, this is not the case!

 

Just kidding!!!!

 

I’m sorry but I couldn’t help myself. I had a weekend packed with football.

Anyway, there was a story about a young man who works at Wendy’s. What brought him to the attention of social media was a generous act of kindness that he showed to a blind couple.

This employee didn’t just take their order but he carried their order to their table, brought them straws, napkins and drinks. Then he set everything up for them so they would know where things were. And he didn’t stop with that, he returned to check to see if they needed anything.

 

be who you want to meet

 

The lady who witnessed this posted about his kind act but she didn’t stop there...she took the time to thank the young man for his thoughtful act. He said...

 

“ I just did it because I knew they needed it."



Isn’t it nice to know that he didn’t take the It’s not my job attitude?

What about us? What about the people we work with?

This story is two-fold for me…

1. The young man who went out of his way to show kindness to a couple just because…

2. The patron who took the time to thank him for his kind act tell him why it mattered.

 

Oh yes, this brought a big smile to my face.

It is good to hear that as most days i think manners and helping people are lost to the new generation.

Sounds like the type of news that I enjoy hearing about and wonder why more people aren't willing to do nice things for others just because it is the right thing to do.  I was hoping to see a picture of the parties involved, but when I clicked on the link, it wouldn't pull up, ugh, I am having issues seeing pictures today, haha.

Hi Kathy,
I enjoy hearing stories like this. I think there are so many good people doing great things that we never hear about. We need to focus more on the good than the bad.  Thank you for the uplifting start to a new week.

Hi Barbara Todaro I agree. I think that people are looking for the "good" things that people do.

You're right Sham Reddy it's one of the reasons why I like sharing these stories.

Sally K. & David L. Hanson when we see someone perform an act of kindness we should try to acknowledge it.

Hi Norma J. Elkins Thank you and I wish you a wonderful week ahead.

Gabe Sanders these stories are always refreshing for me. 

Scott Godzyk I'd like to think that the basic good is in most of us but people have been more rewarded for their bad behavior.

Brian England you know, I don't think I've seen pictures. I'm so glad that the lady posted it. 

Will Hamm exactly. Maybe it will become the norm. 

Carol Williams so much of what we see is about people with bad behavior. I'd rather read about stories like these.

I agree Joan Cox the more stories that we read like this one, maybe it will become more of a habit. 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel you're right. "just because" is reason enough. 

Debe Maxwell, CRS from what I read, Wendy's is recognizing him!!! Maybe it will inspire others to look around and see how they can help.

While watching news footage of Hurricane Florence, I was taken by the kindness many of those folks were showing each other.  It is sad that it sometimes take a disaster to bring people together.
