That is a great song. I'm not sure who sings it but I can find out my the end of the day and then I'll tell you. And people have helped me out so much and I've helped people so many times too. LiL Blonde Chick  |

I have done something for someone, but I have also had something special done for me..I wrote a post awhile back about real life angels..a story of my landlords...if you want to check it out...once, my husband and I were sitting in Mcdonalds having a lunch when in came two small children...they were dressed literally in rags..They had a small amount of change between them and were sitting at a table counting pennies to see if they had enough to get a lunch to split...My heart broke right then and there...I reached into my wallet and took out $5.00 and placed it on the table with their pennies, and just walked away..At least that meal was covered..xoxo  |

Oh yeah, all the time. Makes you feel so warm inside, and you can sleep sooooooo good at night, just knowing you helped someone that day. I love that song. I can't remember who sang it either. Was it Reba McIntire? I live across the street from a retirement village, and many times I've stopped and ask some of those old folks if I can carry their bags, or groceries, or give them a life, etc.. I love the look on their face, when you smile and cheer them up.  |

Ive never heard the song, but I almost cried when I read what its about. I like helping people and getting nothing back, but to just see them smile. It makes me feel good.  |

LL, now I'm crying, that is so sweet. I wish I could be a millionaire and help people all the time. But I think sometimes $5 can make a world of difference. Thinker, I always new you were a wonderful person. Someday when we all get rich we will have to start a program to help people. Everyone else I just knew there were so many people on USM that were like me. I wish the whole world say things the way we do. ***Shelly***  |

I posted this because I was making a comment on another story about Christmas. Here's what I wrote. I remember walking down the street one day before Christmas. I was in a pretty miserable mood because I didn't have enough money to pay bills, and what not. A woman walking by me smiled and said Merry Christmas, and kept walking. I never believed two simple words spoken by a stranger could make me so happy. My whole spirit was uplifted and I couldn't stop smiling. I walked around the rest of the day doing the same thing. It wasn't the words really, it was the thought that someone took time to put a little cheer in my life. I wanted to give others the feeling she gave me. I don't remember ever feeling so uplifted since. Nothing has ever brought me out of a mood so easily.***Shelly*** |

What a touching story! One time a couple asked me for a ride, it was cold & raining hard, I didn't trust them to get in my car, but I did give them $5 to get down the highway. Ummm...nothing sticks out, about someone doing me a favor. Will have to think? Canei  |

I have to say that was a great post. To many times we find ourselves in situations that we might need a helping hand, yet sadly, sometimes that hand is not outstretched. Then sometimes it is. Those are the times when I think that there is still good in people. Especially when I see that there is such evil in the world, it's refreshing to see something good. I try to things like that, try to do something small for someone else, even if it's a kind word. Because what goes around comes around.  |

I love that song and its meaning. It makes you want to do something nice for someone. I was in a college town shopping one Sat. and a young guy was in front of me buying him something to wear to a party, He for some reason came up 12.00 short and I could see how desperate he was for the outfit. I thought about my young sons and I told the clerk that I would pay the 12.00. He was shocked at first and I told him that if he were my son, I would want someone to help him. I also told him that I was young once and he smiled and gave me a hug. That made me feel good for days on end. To bring happiness to someone else is just an awesome feeling. I pratice it when I can. Thanks for this post, it brought a smile to my face. BUSYBEE  |

Almost like paying it forward (like the movie). I always try to fit small acts of kindness into my day. It makes it much nicer. *hugs*  |
