Every year, for about the past thirty years, something very remarkable happens in the town of Walton, Kentucky. On a weekend, the "Good Guys" of Northern Kentucky meet together to load up all their pickup trucks with large barrels of goodies. The Good Guys are known for action, not notoriety. They don't advertise and intentionally stay low-key. They just "do it" and do not wait for recognition.

What if everyone reading this did one random act of kindness for a complete stranger just once a week between now and the end of the year -- then, just walked away and forgot about it? Try it sometime. That stuff gets contagious fast. And, who knows, it might get returned someday to someone you love -- at a time they most need it and you are not available to help.

While you are at it, have a Very Happy Thanksgiving.

Bump, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Now that is what constitutes real charity. Christian charity. Not to profess love toward one's fellow man, but to act with love toward him.

Thank you for posting this piece.

I'm sure the Good Guys would give a thumbs up to the premise of the film Pay It Forward. Great film. Rent it!

My comment doesn't have anything to do with the story itself but with its headline. You see that phrase on bumper stickers on cars. I confess I've never really understood it. Why is "random acts" of kindness supposed to be so cool? I've always thought that CONSISTENT acts of kindness are the mark of a really truly caring individual of a good, solid Christian character.
