Brighten Your Day

I do random acts of kindness all the time and I can count on one hand how many times it’s been returned. Honestly I don’t do it for any reason other than making someone’s life a little better even if only for a minute.

Last night I was trying to go to the store to grab a couple cases of water (and wine) because it was supposed to snow where I live.

The Walmart is three miles from my house and right when I was about to turn on the road my car said overheating and my engine locked up and the car shut off. My boyfriend and I were sitting there trying to push the car into the Walmart parking lot.

Three different people at first asked were we okay and when we said no they still drove off even after stopping to ask it’s like they just wanted to know if we needed help and not actually help.

Finally someone stopped and helped us push the car and then he asked if we were going to Walmart because he had to run in and at least inside we could get warm.

When we got inside Walmart I realized this man was walking with a cane but it didn’t stop him from offering to help strangers trying to push a car through snow. He then took us home…. In all the excitement and talking about cooking I forgot my wallet in his car… Also this was the one day of the year when my children’s ss cards and mine were in my wallet because I had just gotten my taxes done earlier in the day.

When I got home and realized that I had left it in his car I cried for a little while but then thought maybe before I cancel all my cards I should wait to see if he brings it back.

Got a knock on my door this morning and it was David the knight in shining armor from the night before with my wallet saying that I might need it cause it looks important. I cried again and thanked him profusely.

My life has been really hard since November and I had lost faith in a lot and had been feeling like the world was against me. Thank you David so much for helping me and for restoring my faith in people!!!
