SHARING A HEROIC ACT OF KINDNESS
After all the devastating tornadoes that struck on “Super
Tuesday” my family and I are ok. However,
everyone in the South, as you know, didn't fair as well.

angels. Below is an excerpt and a link

Excerpt from "The
Moments after a massive tornado ripped through southeastern
McCullough was breathing, barely.
Eddy, 24, found McCullough in the yard. She couldn't locate
a blanket to place on the elderly woman to shield her from the cold rain, so
she lay down on top of her. With wind and rain whipping around them, Eddy held
the woman and recited the Lord's Prayer.
The young woman - who works at Moulton Nursing Home - was up feeding her 6-month-old son when the weather got bad. After the tornado knocked her family's home off its foundation and blew out the windows, she gave her infant to her parents so that she could run through the rain and see if McCollough needed help.
On Thursday, Eddy was at the doctor because she was sick
with the flu.
"There aren't enough words to tell you how I feel about
what that young lady did for my mother," said Wade Long, McCullough's
67-year-old son. "She didn't know there wasn't another tornado coming, but
she was out there anyway.”

TAKE THE SFPNN KINDNESS CHALLENGE!
Living through the words of Gandhi, we must be the change we want to see in the world. We must also acknowledge those who are in the act of creating those changes. Therefore, we have two challenges for you.
Kindness Challenge # 1: Do something kind today and every day. It doesn’t have to be of earth-shattering proportions to make a positive difference. Simply saying “Thank You” or letting someone know they’re appreciated can have a tremendous impact. Find little ways to be kind and to make our world a kinder place. And feel free to tell us about your kind act!

Kindness Challenge # 2: Share something kind someone has done for you! People are kind to us in a myriad of ways on a daily basis. But we often overlook their kindness. Become aware of acts of kindness and acknowledge the person performing them. Then share their kind gesture with SFPNN.
