It's so nice to hear something good about a young person for a change. We all know they are out there.

Kinda makes ya stop and think about what you can do for someone who may be in a pinch....just gotta be so careful these days.

angels in disguise, I love buying the person behind me in the drive thru breakfast, I wait till I hear that voice that says "ok today is it". Your angels heard it too, blessings to all!

sometimes in today's world it is so easy to forget there are still very nice honest people out there. Makes a person really feel good to hear your story.

What a great silver lining to what could have been a looong ride home. :thumbup:

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY AND WONDER PEOPLE.

I am so impressed that you were not just blessed once but twice in one day. I sure wished more of this kind of stuff would happen in California. It really makes my heart sad to see and hear sssssssooooooooo many people that are thinking about number one - themselves. It is nice to hear there are some wonderful people out there that "Do onto others what they would have done to them!" Thanks for sharing, Sandi

Luckily I was in the right hand lane, so I pulled into to the Walgreen's parking lot and parked and got out of my car to take a look. Sure enough, it was flat as a pancake. Just as I was about to call my husband to come and help me change the tire, this young 20 something young man walks up and asks me if I would need help with changing the tire. It turns out he was behind me in traffic and when he saw I had a flat, he pulled out of traffic and stopped to help. He said it was his Christian duty to help others. How wonderful is that! :D

But wait, it gets better. After I get to my home town I stop at the local tire shop where we usually take our business and have the tire fixed. When the guys there are finished, they tell me no charge today! I asked, what is the occasion, that there is no charge for the tire repair. The guy at the shop said, times are too tough for everyone, and they just want their customers to have the money they need to buy gas.

Now how cool is that? :D There are still some good people in the world.....besides all you guys here on this board. It makes my heart warm to think about it. :-D :-D
