(SP ACK) Special Act of Kindness

Special Act of Kindness (SP ACK) Across the street from our church is a private business. It is relatively inconspicuous because most of it is behind a large old family house turned into the office building. Then there are a half dozen rows of orange trees fronting the property, for about fifty yards, along the street. The working area is down a driveway behind all that. Every day I exit our church property and look directly at that scene. But it is changing. Instead of a chain link fence in front of the orange trees they are constructing a beautiful stone wall out of attractive flat stones slabs. A good looking iron railing graces the top of it. Yesterday as I left for home I noticed a workman, trowel in hand, scraping excess concrete off the stones of the wall. I pulled over and opened my car window. “That is really a great looking wall you have made there. What a wonderful piece of work!” I was surprised at how warmly the man responded. Whoever he was he took total ownership of the project. He stood up, smiled and responded “thank you very much!” I drove home feeling like a million dollars.
