A Random Act Of Kindness

Valeri Glauser and her 9-year-old son, Carter, witnessed something extraordinary last week - a moment of kindness which left a lasting impression on their hearts and minds. The mom and son, of Coeur d’Alene, saw three young people pray with a homeless person at the Ironwood Shopping Center. Valeri saw the teens approach the man, who was clad in dirty, ragged clothes, as she walked into the store. She slowed her pace because she wasn’t sure what they were doing. “My radar immediately went on that this could be a bad thing, that they perhaps were going to harass the homeless man,” she said. Then, the unexpected happened. She saw a young lady in the group bend down to speak to the man, who was sitting on the cold concrete in a corner between businesses. “She said very softly to the man, ‘Are you OK?’” Valeri said/ Devin Heilman , Coeur d’Alene Press.
