Brittany McKee a registered nurse was shopping with her husband at a Georgia Walmart when she observed a woman become suddenly ill, and dropped to the floor. So she ran over to help her.
A Walmart employee, identified only as Jason, spotted the woman and quickly realized she was in a bad way. So he ran over to her. Then, he sat down next to her and offered himself for her to lean on. Someone on the staff called an ambulance and someone passing by said a prayer for the woman, who was soon taken to the hospital.
Says Brittany on a post to Facebook: “What I experienced today was love, kindness and serving. We are human beings, each and every one of us, regardless of how much pigmentation our skin has or doesn’t have.”
And that statement alone should give EVERYONE something to think about.

🍂David Stanley shares, "Here's a memory, it takes place in 1973... It's shows how much Elvis really cares for others, even strangers... I was sitting in the den, at Graceland one day... Elvis walked in, and said, let's take a ride Billy... I said, okay, let me grab your wallet and I'll be right back... I jumped up and ran upstairs to Elvis' room and got his wallet, then followed Elvis to the car... We drove around Memphis... As we were passing Sun Studios, Elvis said... I wonder what would have happened if I had listened to my mother... I looked at him, then asked... What do you mean??? Elvis said, Mom didn't want to sign with Col. Parker, she never trusted him... I said, it didn't matter who you signed with, you would have become the King, anyway... Elvis looked at me and smiled, then said, you know my feelings, there's only one true king, Billy... I said, I know... But, you are the King of rock, boss... No one comes even close to you... Elvis smiled again, has we drove along... Has drove down Beale St. Elvis showed me a church, where he use sneak into and listen the gospel singers... Just we passed the church, we saw a homeless man walking in the opposite direction... Elvis looked at me, he said, get my wallet Billy, which I had put in my briefcase... Elvis then made a U turn... And we drove up to the homeless man... Just before we got to him, Elvis said... Give me the money, Billy.... I asked, how much boss??? He said, all of it... Now, before I go any further, I have to say this... Elvis' wallet had so much money in it, that you couldn't fold it, there was about 5 thousand dollars in... I handed Elvis the money, and he placed it between his legs... When we pulled up to the homeless man, Elvis honked the horn... The man turned around... Elvis rolled his window down, and waved the man over, with his hand... The man looked at us a little funny, then walked over to Elvis' side of the car... When the man got to the car, he recognized Elvis... The first thing he said was, Mr.Presley!!! I've been a fan of yours every since you started... I've bought all your records, and seen all your movies... Elvis said, thank you sir... The man cut him off, saying... You are the greatest, sir!!! Elvis, said, thank you sir... Then asked, where are you going... The man said, oh, down to the unemployment office, see if they have any work for me... I'm a little down on my luck right now... Elvis said, well, your luck has changed, sir... Elvis then handed him the money... The man looked at the money... He said, I can't take that sir... Elvis said, please don't call me sir, call me Elvis... The man said, okay Elvis... But, I can't take your money... Elvis said, this is my way of repaying you for listening to all those records and watching all those an silly movies... The man said, Mr. I mean Elvis, if I do take I promise I'll repay you... Then he took the money... Elvis said, you don't owe me a thing sir, it is me who owes you... The man said, God bless you Elvis... Elvis, said, sir he already has... As we drove off, there were tears in Elvis' eyes, and mine... I said, I've NEVER seen anything like this Elvis, that's the kindest act I've ever seen... Elvis said, remember this lesson, Billy... I did..." 💝👑

”Last night, while waiting to board our plane, Carter Jean was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.

He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him.
He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.

This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes.
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends.

This is the world I want for her.
In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.

Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you.

Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like.

Continue to shine your light in the world.”
