Random Act of Kindness

Today I was able to witness someone showing a random act of kindness. I was in Office Max looking to price printers for our church. Of course printing is expensive, but we have items that we must print to effectively carry out ministry. As I was about to walk away from the aisle I was browsing on, a man stopped me and ask what it was I was looking for. I explained to him about our church and what we needed, and without hesitation he offered me a new printer and a slightly used "all-in-one" printer for our church to use.


I personally was shocked that someone would make this offer. I of course accepted and these new resources will be of great benefit to our church and those we are able to reach through their use.
What an example! We do not live a world that teaches folks to help others. Most people would never think about giving away hundreds of dollars worth of equipment, but this guy did this without asking for anything in return.
I got to see a little example of Christ through someone else today. Christ gave himself for us. He made a sacrifice and gave up something worth far more than printers or money or any other thing we can give away. He did it and asked nothing in return, save we die to ourselves and follow Him.
