The kindness of strangers

When was a time you experienced kindness from a stranger?

During one of this spring's many downpours, I stood just inside the door of an office building, eyeing my car in the parking lot and mustering the courage to make a dash for it. Two people stood just outside, chatting under their umbrellas. Then one of them made eye contact with me, pulled the door open, and said, "C'mon, I'll walk you to your car. No reason for you to get soaked!" He shared his umbrella with me out to the car, and sent me on my (very grateful) way.

I realized this kind of thing happens to most of us from time to time, and I'd love to hear more about it! We live in a world where sometimes, people choose to go out of their way for each other, and that's worth celebrating! 

So tell me about a time a stranger helped you out!
