A.There was something funny about my shoes. They were blacker than they had beensince they were bought. But now could that be?My first thought was, of course, magic because I knew that I hadn’t done anything to create that shine that looked so wonderful at the far end of my legs. Then, I called out to my wife, Anita. “Honey, thanks for shining my shoes! They look great!I was thinking I needed to get some new black shoes, but now...”“I didn’t shine your black shoes,”Anita said. “I didn’t shine your brown shoes, either.”Wait a minute. My brown shoes? I looked in the closet. A bright glow from the darkest corner confirmed Anita’s report. I paused for a second or two. “So really, thanks,” I said to Anita. “But I didn’t shine them,” she said.I looked at her, searching for any sign of telling lies. Anita certainly wouldn’t lie, but she would do a bit in the interest of something she considered a greater good--a good joke or a secret act of service. “So, if you didn’t shine them,” I asked, “who did it?” She gave me a confident, self-satisfied smile. So I immediately thought of Beth, my youngest daughter who lived close enough to be able to drop by when I wasn’t home to shine my shoes. But her response to my questions forced me to decide that it wasn’t Beth. Who was it?To be honest, I still don’t know for sure. That’s why it is with unknown acts of service. I love my shiny shoes. They are finally going to get dirty again. But the memory of those shiny shoes will remain with me, warming my heart forever, and inspiring me to fast acts of kindness of my own.21.
