A Simple Act of Kindness

Last evening I witnessed a small but special act of kindness. In a secluded, wooded field not far from our home, I noticed a man setting out water, then food, before walking away. There are no other houses nearby, so I was curious as to what was going on. Within only a few minutes I found out. Four kittens--obviously strays from the looks of them--emerged, two at a time, from the trees. After another moment, they were joined by two raccoons, one large, one small. They looked around, then together--!--ate and drank their fill before disappearing  back into the woods, leaving me to wish I'd had a camera with me.

May God bless the man, whoever he was, who cared enough to minister to those small animals. I had the distinct feeling that this wasn't the first time.
