Faith Restored

Sadly, most people in the world are “too busy” (too selfish) to go out of their way to help out another fellow human being, especially a stranger. For me, it's really disheartening because I more often than not will go out of my way to help someone in need.

As you know from my previous post, my boss pulled over at the side of the street when he saw me walking to work and offered me a ride. At lunch time, he offered me another ride if I needed one. At the end of the day after finding out I was without a car, another coworker offered me her vehicle. She thought her DH was coming into town, but he ended up not so it didn’t work out. But it was the thought that counts! That gesture alone has changed my perspective about her. A third coworker offered to deliver my client work and then drop me off at the college which was a little out of her way. Before class, I asked if anyone drove home near where I lived. A girl who lived out of town offered to take me home. I barely know this girl, and she offered a ride – and said even if she didn’t go that way, she’d still give me a ride home! This morning, the same coworker who drove me to the college gave me a ride to work.

I have to say that my faith in people has been somewhat restored. In my time of need yesterday, several people stepped up to help me when I needed it. Perhaps it was my turn to ‘cash in’ on all my pay-it-forwards.

To all who have helped me: A big THANK YOU!
