A Story of Goodness

I need to tell you this heart warming story that came out of the tragedy of the Amish school murders.

A customer, who requests to remain anonymous, contacted Isaac's, today, to see if he/she could help the families of the victims, the first responders, and the other folks working through this terrible event. She/he wanted to supply food to these people, in the same way someone would respond to a death by delivering casseroles and trays of sandwiches to the grieving family.

She settled on purchasing $1,000 worth of Gift Cards from Isaac's in small denominations, to be distributed to the families and other folks who are involved, by Bart Township officials. Isaac's kicked in an additional $200 worth of cards to bring the grand total to $1,200.

This person's generosity and desire to help is inspirational to me. He/she is a beacon of hope in this world that seems so topsy-turvey. In recent years, it has often appeared that the human species is dead set on a helter-skelter charge towards self destruction. This person's actions restore our faith in the goodness of humanity. Peaceful, loving and caring people will triumph, through good deeds such as this. We need each other, and we need to show it.

And I say to this generous caring person: "Thank You."
