HOUSTON – Have you ever wept at the kindness of strangers?
I have.

It’s strange to think back on February 2021 when the mercury regularly reads 100 degrees, but I can literally shiver with fear at the thought that my young sons wouldn’t have milk because I stupidly forgot to pick more up and the grocery store was closed as power blinked out all around town.
My husband mentioned the situation to our next-door neighbors, and we had a gallon within the hour. They had a baby and knew what we would go through without milk. They gave without reservation.
This isn’t new. This isn’t out-of-the-ordinary for Houston. It’s what they did and it’s what we all do when we can.
Let me repeat: It’s just what we do here in Houston.

Was it a ride to work? Money to buy shoes for your kids’ back-to-school wardrobe? Gardening after a tree fell? Help cleaning house after a loved one died? Reading over a resume to get a new start?
We all know we’ve gone through tough times in recent memory and we’ve weathered them the best way we know how. There’s a magic, though, when people step out and give out of their hearts.
