With all the evil, ugly stuff going on in the country, and the nasty false accusations being made against our President, especially in the aftermath of the latest two (or three, or ten, or however many -- it's hard to keep track) mass shootings, here's something to warm your hearts.

Not everybody in the country, and especially in El Paso, is going around with a snarly face. At least one young man has the whole thing in perspective!

Following the tragic shooting at a Walmart Supercenter in El Paso, Texas, an 11-year-old boy's idea to help heal the community is going viral.

On Sunday, Rose Gandarilla posted a photo of her son, Ruben Martinez, with a note he wrote called the "#elpasoCHALLENGE" on social media. The post quickly went viral.

The sixth-grader from El Paso is encouraging every citizen in the city to do at least 20 good deeds in honor of the lives lost on Saturday and telling people to "be kind to each other all day every day, all night, every night."

This kid has been raised properly! God bless him and his parents! The article doesn't say so, but I'll bet he and his mom are in church every Sunday! Needless to say, THIS kid will never be a mass murderer!

Ruben suggested several examples of random acts of kindness: "Mow someone's lawn, visit a nursing home, pay for someone's lunch or dinner, donate to families in need, write someone a letter and tell them how great they are, hold the door for everyone, comfort someone when they are sad or stressed, take flowers to someone in the hospital, leave a dollar on the vending machine for the next person."

But the young boy didn't just write a letter and sit around. He's been busy helping his community heal.

"He is a very caring young man," Gandarilla told Fox News. "He is always asking me to give money to homeless people or to go buy them food. Every since he was little, we always pay for someone's dinner at a restaurant once a month."

Ruben and his mom went to Walgreens, Carinos, Barnes and Noble, Sprouts and other places in El Paso to personally ask people to join the challenge.

 There's a lot more; please read the article. And pray for this young man and his family! They are the kind of people this nation needs millions of! https://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/el-paso-texas-boy-challenge-mass-shooting-viral
