The gentleman is a class act. Thank you for posting.
Wow. Great story. Great looking mom. Great looking kids.
For those who don’t believe in Angels...
I was driving in Ft. Walton Bch around 1979 when my car just went dead. I was on busy Eglin Parkway. Now I had money and even roadside assistance but still needed to get my car out of the traffic.
After about 5 minutes a car stopped and the driver got out and helped me push the car to the median. He then drove me to my Sister’s house where I called my insurance company.
The only guy to stop (actually probably others would have also stopped but he was the first) was a Korean Southern Baptist Preacher.
Last week we came upon a group of 7 or so Harley riders on the side of the road. The temp was about 98 or so with a heat index well over 100. We saw them on our way to lunch, and then on the way back an hour or so later.
We looked at each other and pulled into the next quickie mart and bought a dozen cold Gatorades. Drove back, stopped, and handed them over.
I wasn’t really looking for a kiss and hug from a sweaty biker chick, but got one. They offered money but we declined. Just asked that they pay it forward when they got the chance.

Sounds like a righteous dude from a much more robust generation. I’m all tapped out on sympathy for single mothers, myself. I figure you sleep in the bed you have made.
What ever you do to the least among you, you do unto me.
Beautiful. Thank you for helping restore our faith in decency and kindness, in these cynical and callous times.
I would love to see everyone do the right thing but in todays society it does not happen. I am guessing that there has always been an indifference to those that are in need. I myself have decided that when ever possible I will stop to help and see if the person is all right.
years ago I was that person in dire straits. I had decided to bike down the coast from Richland Washington to los angels I was just a kid only 20 at the time. I misjudged how often I would need water and ran out of water on the road between towns. I was sunburned and on my way to heat stroke when I was able to flag down a car and get a ride into town I was still 20 miles out from the closest source of water at the time. before that car stopped for me about 50 cars drove by with out stopping. if that car had not stooped I definitely would of had the heat stroke and might of even died. I am thankful to the kind stranger that stopped
We can all take hope from the fact that America still has people like this.
Great story and a great lesson for how we are supposed to act.
Thanks for posting it! ‘Pod.
Thank you so much for the mid-week good news story. I know I am not alone when I say this is GREATLY appreciated. (As well as the beautiful soul that posted it.)
When my Grandmother was in her 80s she wrote a series of stories for the local paper. They were about her childhood in the late 1800s.
One was about her first trip to Geneva, Alabama by ox cart. I want go to into details but she and her sister encountered kind strangers time after time. A couple of times they were rescued, not from anything life threatening but still fairly serious problems.
I was really struck by how kind people were back then. I guess there still are some like that but not as many.
Can’t open page past the stupid sign up to facebook crap. Would like to have read the story and seen the family!
I guess this was in a grocery parking lot.
None of the shopper clowns had jumper cables?
Where the heck was this?
Were the female shoppers all Hillary Sisterhood types?
NONE of them could help out?
was it Joe Biden?
I was on my way to work at my new/old job when I came to a stop sign my car just died. Right there. Had my cell phone out ready to call road side assistance when a fireman, pulled up beside me, I think an inspector, and asked if I was ok. I explained my situation and that help was coming. He called over a guy who was jogging by to help push me around the corner and out of the intersection. They were there, helped me, and then they were gone. Never had a chance to ask their names. Who says there aren’t Angels.
And thank you for the post...indeed time for it
I accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior in 1979. Since then, I have given lots of help to strangers, been in several conflicts and some civil scrapes, have never had a need greater than either resources at hand or abilities to overcome- My Lord makes my cup runeth over. I certainly do not deserve it, but He loves me so!
