I sit down next to a Filipino lady and her two kids in the Manila airport, hungry and tired, without enough time to get food before my next flight. My passport is in my hand, as I fumble to get myself organized to board my next flight.
She glances over at me, noticing my passport and says, "Are you from Canada?"
I smile and respond, "Yes."
She smiles back, "So are we, from Vancouver." Her smile broadens, "Do you like Tim Hortons muffins?"
Strange question, I think to myself. "Yes, I do."
She nudges her son, who opens his carry-on to reveal a box of Tim Hortons muffins. They insist I have one. I don't argue. As squished as it was, It tasted delightful. This generous, kind and thoughtful act not only satisfied my hunger, but warmed my heart!

Thank-you God for this sweet lady, who knew exactly what this weary, hungry, travelling Canadian girl needed. Don't forget, your simply acts of kindness go a long way!
