Random acts of kindness

I am doing a few early posts this week since I won’t be able to do so on the proper dates. On September 7, 1151, Geoffrey le Bel, the Count of Anjou, died suddenly upon his return from a Paris conference with the French king; it must have vexed him greatly that his death would be seen as validation of the prophecy of Bernard of Clairvaux, who’d warned he would die within a month. September 7th was the date of another Angevin event of significance; for in 1191, Geoffrey’s grandson Richard defeated Saladin at the battle of Arsuf. And on September 7th, 1533, the only good Tudor was born, Elizabeth, who would become a great queen.
And here are two very touching stories of random acts of kindness. I found the first one on a news website, so you may have read about it already. I found the second story because I came across the mention of a writer with the name Sharon Kay, and that was rare enough to arouse my curiosity. If you read these stories, it will make you feel better about the human race and remind us all that we don’t always know how deeply we can impact the lives of strangers.
