  2. What a wonderful news report! Just watch it on New Year's Eve 2022 and how uplifting and charming, poignant and moving it is. Thank you Steve Hartman and all the amazing humans who participated in highlighting the goodness in people.

  5. This was VERY inspiring & well needed commentary on the importance of doing & showing acts of kindness. Although, the story the little boy told about his parents being divorced made me sad. I love the reasons he gave on why his bus driver meant alot to him, and although he articulated his feelings in a mature manner, it hurrts me that he is subjected to issues that a child shouldn't have to be privy to or worry about. But on to a funny note, the little boy sleep on the bus with his mouth open 😴 made me burst into laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I felt his sleepiness down in my spirit😩🤭🤭🤭

  7. This is super nice, but remember evil demons take your kindness for weakness, but be kind and generous anyway, but nicely ghost the greedy. Never argue. Karma never loses an address. We reap what we sow, for God watches everything and his angels. Nothing is hidden.

  14. Go Ruby. There are seniors like this somewhere very close to you right now. I worked for 30 years in elder care and Hospice. This can not spread enough. It will break your heart just how LITTLE it takes to bring great Joy.

  16. Steve, the crew that both made this possible, the people that inspired this and all of Steve's journeys and stories, you all are my heroes. May this world slowly begin to recognize that in order to make love go viral, we first have to believe it can and then make it happen. No one should shoulder that alone. It takes every single one of us.

  18. What l see is God's awesome GOODNESS all over these stories. He is TRULY with us. "And they shall call His name Immanuel which means God with us".
    I also see Him hiding in plain sight..

  19. Wouldn't our world be awesome if everyone put forth a little effort in performing a kind act . Maybe just maybe we could stop or lesson violence! What a wonderful world it would be!

  20. Jesus understood the exponential curve and the law of probability. Maybe in some alternate universe the millennium has already started! Maybe multiple times. TRUTH is stranger than fiction.

  26. It is simply GREAT for anyone (and especially Steve Hartman), to advocate kindness in a culture that tries to omit the true author of Love (Christ, The Lord)… 🙂😁👍✝️✌🙏😊

  40. This morning, the 1st Day of 2023, my husband and I were blessed and shocked by a stranger's Act of Kindness. My husband has lost his vision and has had several surgeries (4 hospitals in the last 8mos). Going out is a treat and challenge. He is in a wheelchair, and I have a hip-to-toe leg brace. Doors are the worst, I've become more used to folks watching my struggle, or he remains in the car. TODAY, 2 young guys came to open both doors to enter the restaurant, which was amazing. We were seated, placed our order and enjoyed our breakfast, waiting to receive our ticket, our waitress informed us that our ticket had been paid, I was shocked. What a blessing surprise, and as we left, a young man entering the restaurant helped us leave. I WILL PAY IT ONWARD
