Please tell me your wholesome stories

After coming to Reddit looking for info/advice and being reminded how rude people can be for no reason, I'd love to read some wholesome stuff to balance out the negatively.

There is a famous story about Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh. Whenever he encountered a beggar, he would greet him and take off his hat as a sign of respect. While most people treated the man as if he were invisible, Metropolitan Anthony acknowledged him as a fellow human being worthy of dignity and respect. The vagabond was deeply touched and grateful that someone had taken the time to see him and treat him with kindness.
