Today, we're sharing a story from reader Carl O. in Broken Bow, Nebraska.

 

"Several weeks ago we had three small grandchildren at the Lincoln, Nebraska, zoo. They were very active and we were kept busy keeping up with them. All of a sudden Grandma noticed she did not have her purse. She and the grandchildren immediately homesteaded a bench while I started backtracking and looking. I had only gone a few hundred yards when I heard a voice behind me asking if I was looking for something. I turned around and told the young woman behind me that I was looking for my wife's purse. She said 'I thought it looked like you were looking for something; I just took it to the front entrance.' I thanked her profusely and rushed off to the front office where they gave me the purse when I told them what color it was and offered to call the phone I knew was in the purse. Everything was there and I only wish I had got her name and phone number before I rushed off."

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

GoFundMe Says $30 Billion Has Been Raised on Its Crowdfunding and Nonprofit Giving Platforms

GoFundMe crowdfunding campaigns have generated $30 billion since 2010, the fundraising platform announced Tuesday, as younger generations look beyond institutions to make their donations.

https://www.philanthropy.com/article/gofundme-says-30-billion-has-been-raised-on-its-crowdfunding-and-nonprofit-giving-platforms?

Today, we're sharing a story from reader Shawna G. in San Manuel, Arizona.

 

"In January of 1997 I was discharged from the Marines in Quantico, VA. I had a Ryder truck, tow dolly with my car hitched to the back and a 6-month-old son and was ready to head to Arizona. I had one stop before heading out. As I turned down a road in a residential area, I realized it was a dead end and there was no place to turn. As I tried turning the truck and car, they slid down an icy embankment. I had to have a tow truck pull them out and it cost $200, leaving me $300 to get home (which was not possible)."

 

"People from homes came out to see what was going on. Among them was a fellow female Marine and her daughter; they saw how distraught I was and offered to let me and my son stay at her house for the night, since it was dark and late. As I was getting ready to leave in the morning, she gave me $300 to help me get home. That was 27 years ago, and I still get emotional at that random act of kindness. I don't know how I would have gotten home without that help. I hope this reaches that lady and to tell her I still have not forgotten, nor will I ever forget, and it reminds me to continue doing random acts of kindness."
