Bloggers Unite in Acts of Kindness
December 17, 2007 by Lillie
Today Bloggers Unite in Acts of Kindness at Blog Catalog.
Bloggers are encouraged to perform acts of kindness and blog about them today.
My act of kindness was to support someone who does much more than I do. I wrote about Linda Cano’s volunteer work for Soldiers’ Angels more than a year ago. Linda has been writing letters to nearly 100 soldiers even though it’s a big sacrifice for her. She has health issues, but she took a part-time job so she could afford to pay postage, buy items to send the soldiers … and even rent a computer. Yes, she has been renting a computer just to support our troops!
In the past, I was able to help Linda by introducing her to a friend who gave Linda money for postage. I wrote about that experience in Catalyst: God’s Tool.
Recently, my husband and I were able to support Linda in her support of the troops. We bought her a laptop so she can use the money she’s been spending on renting a computer on postage and more goodies for the troops.
Our act of kindness was small compared to all that Linda does for the troops through Soldiers’ Angels. But we are blessed that we could help her do even more.
You can find links to other posts about acts of kindness at Bloggers Unite. If you’re reading this on Monday, December 17, you can participate. If you’re reading this later … it’s never do late to do an act of kindness!

Great post. Thanks for supporting someone that supports our troops. Soldier’s Angels is wonderful. I have given money for phone cards before.
A wonderful act of kindness.
Always nice to hear about another Linda
But seriously, this is a wonderful thing that she is doing. She must bring a lot of smiles to people. 
As a Soldiers Angels supporter, I’m thrilled to find other “angels”. Thanks to you and Linda for supporting the men and women who serve our country.
Well, I missed this special event. But I am not surprised — anything organized too close to Christmas and to the New Year I generally block out. I’m calendar-challenged right now, but it sounds like this was something of value.
Soldiers Angles, what a great thing to do for the heroes who are “putting it on the line” every single day for our country!
Thank you Linda and thank you Lillie, and thank you all who are involved in this and similar organizations.
I didn’t have any experience with any thing like this while in Viet Nam.
I’m really glad someone thought to support our troops this time around. I hope soldiers angles has a web site. I’m going to look for it right now!!
May your efforts bring as much happiness to you as it does some of our men and women overseas!
Many have no idea that Just knowing the people of our country care makes a 100% difference in morale for troops
May these efforts be blessed ! James
Thank you for your comment and for supporting our troops
Thank you for supporting
A wonderful act of kindness.
As Nouveau Riche once said: “There is something wrong in this picture”… Why doesn’t the state give her free postage opportunities?
