For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hello to all of my faithful readers! Well, it’s award time again and this one is definitely a bit different than others and it’s my first nomination for this award. I was nominated for this award by MwsR over at https://mwsrwritings.com and she has a wonderful blog filled with all sorts of different articles and fun facts, just too much to mention. If you have not visited her site before, then I would suggest you should take a look. Thank you so very much for this nomination and sorry it has taken a while to get it done!
Well, this is kind of a tough one, I really don’t like writing about things I have done myself, that’s something better done by someone else if they want to do so. Therefore, I will repeat something that appeared on my blog a while back, which first appeared on Ilona’s blog at https://easydiet.blog and I think it certainly should fit for this award. It was definitely a random act of kindness. So I will reprint it below.
Two men and a woman were standing in a small park watching something and a third man went over to see. There was a rather big guy about to rape a young girl (early teens). The two guys were not doing anything so the third man went over to try and do something. This guy was quite a bit bigger than the third man, but, still he went over and when he looked up at the third man, this third man punched him in the face. He didn’t seem to like that and the third man ended up being punched and kicked a few times. He then ran away as the girls parents came to get their daughter. The third man asked if she was okay, the mother yelled to stay away, which he did. He then went back to the where the others were standing and the woman there said to him, you’re not a real man, a real man would have won that fight, my Brad here would have beat that guy easy. Strange, her Brad didn’t do anything but watch. But that is the definition of a real man now I guess. In that case, the third man said he didn’t mind not being a real man. He lost but at least the girl wasn’t raped so she was saved from suffering something dreadful, he only had to put up with a few aches and pains for a few days. How long would she have suffered. What is your definition of a real man? As you said, this is how down we are now.
I know this had to do with a different topic, but I still think it fits for this as well. Okay, now, my 3 nominees are;
Huguette over at https://huguetteantoun.com
Lydia at https://inhisserviceandlovingit.wordpress.com
Leola at https://leoladurant.com
Your directions are above, so I hope you will participate, but as always there is no obligation.
So everyone, I hope you have all had a wonderful day and I hope that your week will continue to be great and that you will be able to have some time to enjoy yourself. God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Good Steve, I think it is much better to know how kind and great you are and keep the things you did in silence than to go and brag about them, of course. Good and kind person is always doing instead of talking. I bet you are wonderful person Steve, it is flowing through your posts even if never mentioned how great you are. People feel it. 🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you Steve for being like that. As soon as World has people like that it always hope. ☀️☀️☀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Congrats! And the illustration you used is a prime example of “love in action.” It doesn’t sit back and expect someone else to help or change the world, but steps up and does to others as it would want to be treated.

Thank you Huguette! Yes, I thought this story fit quite nicely as an act of kindness. I sometimes think that bystanders like this should be arrested. They could at least phone for help instead of taking out their phone to get pictures. Thanks for accepting the nomination Huguette and I hope your day goes well! Blue skies and sunshine here.😁🌞😸

Oh I do agree they should be arrested! Here in the middle of the day a man killed another man and people have filmed the entire scene! Even though he has a knife but no one tried to distract him, to push him, throw something on him! Probably the other man could survive less stabs!
Glad to know it’s sunshine 🌞 have a great day 😸😸

All it would take is a couple other guys to step in and help, but no one wants to get involved except to see who can get the best video. There was a time when that would never happen. Might be a good day for pictures, nature that is! Hope your day is great also!😁🌞😸📷

I see you celebrate father’s day the same day we do. Since it was rainy and cool I couldn’t go get pictures today so I stayed home to clean and try to fix the switch on my ceiling fan. It broke the other day and now the lights don’t work and that’s the only light in the kitchen. So far no luck on fixing that, but will try something different later.🤔 Right now I’m working on another award post, trying to get caught up on awards this week.😂 Then I suppose I should eat something today.😁 Glad you have a few minutes to talk.
