Woman took a normal photo of a family eating ice cream - a few days later she received a text message from an unknown number that made her shiver

In a world that we seem to be more dark and depressing all the time, it's very difficult to stay with high motivation. What can we really do when the earth's problems are so big?

Well, we think there is only one way: to treat others as you would like to be treated.

Small and good deeds can do much more than you think. Take, for example, this story about a woman who saw a nice family and decided to do something nice for them. She had no idea what a huge meaning the little gesture she did for them would have.

Hopefully it will inspire others to help family, friends and even foreign people. Even the smallest things can make a big difference.

Joyce Rhinehart took her grandson to eat ice cream. When she and her grandson, Blake, were about to leave the place, Joyce noticed a family eating ice cream together on a bench.

"Something urged me to ask them if I could take a picture of them..", Joyce wrote on Facebook.

She took a picture with her phone and then gave it to the family's daughter so she could send the picture to herself.

The family thanked Joyce and she put Blake at home and forgot about this sweet moment.

But the story is not over there. A few days later, Joyce received a text message from an unfamiliar number. When she opened the message and read it, Joyce got shivers - and then began to cry.

"My dear mam, you took a picture of us outside the ice cream joint on June 8. My wife passed away yesterday and this is our last family picture. Please accept my deep gratitude".

Never underestimate the value of a good little act. You never know, it may have tremendous meaning to a person on the other side.

We think it's amazing that Joyce was suddenly an urge, an inner feeling, to offer to photograph the family. And maybe what's even more amazing is that the family agreed to get the tribute of the foreign woman - but now, it's the last memory they have to cherish the mother and woman.

God sometimes puts people on some paths.
