But we don’t believe that to be true. We believe there are a lot of people in our world who are choosing kindness even in the face of cruelty.</p><p>Do you have an act of kindness that you’d be willing to share? You can participate through a Google Forms Survey at this link:<a href="https://forms.gle/5NQakn6bgeXpm2us5"> <u>https://forms.gle/5NQakn6bgeXpm2us5</u></a></p><p>There you will find two kindness questions we’d like you to consider and then respond to:</p><ul><li><p><strong>What is an act of kindness you’ve received that made a difference to you?</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>What is an act of kindness you have done which you hope changed another person’s life?</strong></p></li></ul><p>What do we do with the acts we learn about in this survey? We save them and feature them in our Thanksgiving show each year…anonymously unless you prefer we use your name.</p><p>Finally, please share this survey because an act of kindness shared begets others.</p><p><strong>How We Check Ourselves</strong></p><p>Fact Checking: Because there are a lot of things happening…some true, some false, some unbelievable…we use the following fact checking sites.
