The Kindness of Others

Would you help a complete stranger?  Someone you didn't know, say, the neighbour of a cousin's son in another country?  And what if that someone asked you to order something for them from another country, have it sent to your house, and you would need to re-address the package and forward it on to another country?  Then what if the order got caught in your junk e-mail repeatedly so that there was not a sale confirmation until the third attempt at ordering?  What if you were paying out of pocket and getting reimbursed and it is $300 and you have to take the time to drive to the bank and make the payment at the branch?

At what point would you have said that it was simply not worth the hassle?

In all honesty, I'm not sure I would have done it.  Now having received such kindness from a complete stranger in Norway, I would probably go all the way to the finish.  This wonderful lady took time from her life to help me.  I owe her a huge thank you!  For thanks to her kindness, I am now the extremely proud owner of eleven hÄnglar & stÄnglar stamps!  This card was specifically created for this unknown stranger who showed me an enormous amount of kindness.

The sentiment is from Close to My Heart Card Chatter - Thank You and was also used on the inside of the card to complete the sentiment.

Thank you for looking!
