Another Small Kindness

It's such a simple thing, yet meaningful.

This morning we had a short rain shower. Soon after the rain began falling one of our neighbors came to the door and rang the bell. I was surprised when I opened the door and he told me that it was raining so I'd better close the car windows.

When I was young, this is how neighbors were. I haven't seen neighborly kindness like that in over thirty years.

Muslims believe in the importance of small deeds. I'm sure the man at my door this morning does too. And I am very grateful to have such nice neighbors.
