54 Acts of Kindness (4)

From Heather in McKinney:

I knew of Tyra for many years before I actually met Tyra. We have some friends in common and I prayed for Tyra, Steve, and their family many times during his battle with cancer.

I first actually met Tyra in person maybe about 4 years ago - we work for the same department in our district. I’m so glad I’ve gotten to know her a little better through the last several years and always come away from an interaction with her smiling.

Steve’s birthday was today and to honor his birthday, I took part in the Damm family’s 54 acts of kindness. I always give my check total as a tip on Steve’s birthday and today I also delivered lunch to a teacher friend.

Our boss got in on the action as well- gifting each of us who report to him one of our items from our favorites list.

Thank you Tyra, for encouraging me to be #dammkind.
