AOK Shoutouts Share & Celebrate Kindness

Had knee surgery recently and went out with some friends to a Murder Mystery Dinner, a few days later. Since dinner was buffet style and I was hobbled with a cane, my friends let me stay at the table while they got me a salad, a plate of food, a slice of cheesecake and a beer. Great gesture from some great friends ! I appreciated it for sure.

This is my 3 year granddaughter Cecelia loves giving those little Jesus that day Jesus loves you to people and tell them Jesus loves you. Well, I found one in the back of the van today when we got to Aldi, so I gave it to Cecelia. While we are in the store, the older kids are talking to me about something , little miss Cecelia starts walking up to this lady. I try and call her back before realizing what she's doing. She hands this older lady this Jesus and says, " Jesus loves you!" The older lady said "you have no idea how much I needed that. You just made my day. Thank you so much!"

The Mobile Hope Food Pantry at Shawnee UMC served 154 families this morning (459 individuals). ❤

The Bath Interact club helped out Family Promise with their 10th annual Valentine's banquet! The kids helped set up the tables, serve the food, and even stayed later than originally planned to help tear down tables and chairs!

As my family was leaving the Mexican restaurant last night, we went to pay our bill and was informed the our 5 dinners were already paid for by a man who said " Enjoy family dinners as often as you can". Very nice !

Wife and daughter brought me home a Kramer portrait for my music room. It's always nice getting an unexpected gesture out of the blue. Kind thought, small act...that's the key ! Thank you !

I was leaving the physical therapy office , after a follow up with my knee surgeon. I was using my walker as instructed and was heading out the door. A kind lady noticed that a rug/floor mat was bunched up and she stopped me, while getting cup to straighten the mat out. I may have tripped, had she not warned me and fixed it. Simply being kind.

We live in the country so the snow blows very bad. My 67 year old dad drove his tractor to my house not only once, but twice this week to plow my long driveway so we could get in an out! It's a 10 min drive here and 10 min drive home, spending between 30-45 min here plowing! So thankful selfless acts like this especially in the negative temps.

Northland Community Church set up a community warming station on the north side, providing large groups of people food, warm beds, showers and warm clothes. Many people donated, cooked and just hung out and had fun. Excellent example of community coming together. Lasted all week with several groups helping from all over. God bless !

Man, stopped in for lunch today. These 2 people were "above and beyond" kind. Smiling, re-filling drinks, grabbing people's tray for them, telling everyone to have a good day as they left, welcoming everyone who came in....it was impressive! How impressive? So impressive that I had to call them together , take their photo and post it online ! Thanks, Susan and BB, for making my day watching you guys make everyone else's day with your friendly attitudes. Did I mention BB is 87 years young?

I was at Worship last night at the Remnant and lost my phone. I didn’t realize it until I got into my car so I had to go back in to try and find it. A girl saw me go back in the building and came to help me find it. We went back up to the 4th floor and she used her light on her phone and we found it under the chair I was sitting in. I thanked her and told her I appreciated her help and she said she’d want someone to help her if she lost something. ❤

My car got stuck last night as I tried to get it off the road for the plows. 3 kids who were walking by with sleds, all came over and pushed as I rocked it out. Thanks kids, sure saved me !

My neighbor cleaned 7 of our neighbor sidewalks with his snowblower

During this snow storm, I was heading to the grocery anyways , so I called 5 of my friends and asked if they needed anything. Since I was already out, may as well pick up what they need as well. That's what friends do

So I did something nice today... I was at Happy Dayz getting food for myself and my fiance and this family came in with two young kids and I pulled out a $1.00 for each one ( a boy and girl) and handed it to the dad and I told him here let them get whatever they want out of one of the machines. Both of the parents said really and I said yes. I told them to have a Happy Holiday and to enjoy their food and told the kids to enjoy their treats. I got a ty from both kids. Made my heart full!

Dealing with switching health insurance, called the Express Scripts office. After talking to AI and screaming at the robot for 10 minutes, i was transferred to a lady who was very nice, pleasant to talk to and offered help with my issues. She apologized for the robot and we laughed about the state of "customer service". Thanks Aubreeana (spelling ?) for making the clinical phone call sorta fun, I appreciate the kindness

It was snowing while we were in church today. When we got out , we were surprised to see that some of the children had snuck out and cleaned the snow off the 22 cars in the parking lot. Very much appreciated!

Animal Kindness ! All Starr Pets of Elida passed out over 19 pallets of food for cats and dogs to over 150 cars yesterday. Great act of kindness within our community. Caring for our furry friends

My boss blessed our mail carrier Mason with a $25 gift card.
