Another Act Of Kindness
Finally fell asleep about five thirty this morning and then woke up a few minutes after seven. I got up and took my blood pressure and pain pills and went back to bed. Was sleeping oh so soundly when at ten thirty the phone gave one little ring, just enough to wake me up. Checked and it said private number. In just a couple of minutes it rang again and this time the person let it ring until I answered. It was the gas guy needing to get inside to light all my gas appliances. A new gas line has been put in the neighborhood and the meter changed and today was the day my gas was switched. Within a few minutes he was finished and gone and back to bed I went. I was fast asleep in a few minutes and the next time I woke up it was fifteen minutes after two in the afternoon. At least I had finally gotten my eight hours of sleep.
I needed to return books to the Jonesboro library so on the way there I stopped at Wot a Burger to have a very late lunch. A friend from church came in to also have a late lunch. We chatted a bit and then I went back to reading my book and eating and he to eating. After he left the lady behind the counter came over to me and handed me a five-dollar bill. She said my friend had asked if I had already paid for my meal and when she said yes he told her to give me the money for my lunch was his treat. That gave me a warm fuzzy feeling and made the cloudy, dreary day seem sunny.
How sweet is that! Thanks for sharing your story.
