I believe that when you tell people about the kindness you do for others and your generosity to the community, it takes away from how great it is. Boasting about doing good shouldn’t be why we do good.
So, with that being said, I will how tell amazing my grandmother is. She has been an active part of the community for decades. She was on the board for a women and children’s homeless shelter and was part of many fund raisers/charity events that no one knew she was a part of. She was a secretary at a funeral home for years and did everything she could for the families that had endured losses. She battled insurance companies and often called to check on families. She cooks for the dinners that a local church has for homeless members of the community. I have walked into her house more than once and she is rushing around her kitchen with a countertop full of pies, rolls, and casseroles. When she sees someone in need, she doesn’t hesitate to give them the last bit of her cash in her wallet. She constantly asks about her grandbabies, and we call each other randomly throughout the week. Just a few days ago, I thought to myself, “You know, I don’t know how much longer I’ll have my granny. I want to call her.” I told her what I’d thought, and she replied with, “Not many people think like that anymore.”
I could go on and on about how amazing she is. But I don’t want to brag.
