We hear all too often about all the horror and tragedy in the world, so I thought it would be nice to have a thread where each of us can share something a little different. What's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you? Does something immediately come to mind? Was it something small and simple, yet it meant so much? Or something on a larger scale? I'd like to hear your stories if you'd like to share them with us. We could all have our spirits lifted by them. :)
My own story goes back to when I was 7 years old. I was actually a very quiet, demure child. I had two best friends at the time, Laura and Lisa, who decided they would be my "co-girlfriends" (Hey, we were 7, we didn't know how the whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing worked). Anyway, one day during lunch I didn't want to eat my mashed potatoes and English peas, so I just played with them and mixed them all together. My teacher saw this and gave me the "People are starving in China..." lecture and told me that I was not going out to recess until I ate every bit of it. As the other kids got up to go put away their trays, I was sobbing because I really did not want to eat it. Laura and Lisa came and sat on either side of me and said "Don't cry, Eddie, we'll eat it for you." And they did. Later in life, a good friend of mine told me that when God sees us hurting, He sends us people. I firmly believe that. :)
