Has it ever occured that you have been in a spot of bother and a complete stranger has helped you.....then walked away as if it was an everyday incident.... I believe what goes around comes around so i try to help....whenever possible.

I have ever been helped by strangers, when i ride a motorcycle with my gf, we got an accident caused by car that taken our way we both fall beside the road on stones, lucky her that my gf didn't suffer any serious injuries but i got my kneel bow misplace and can't stand at all, it was on a road on a small village quite middle in the jungle,it's night and so dark, not for long we're being helped by local residents who lived not so far from that accident site, May God Bless them all with prosperity.....

We were helped 2 times. Once when we were coming home from visiting family 1 of the tires poped on our car and the tire iron my husband was using just was not working. This very well paid gentlemen pulled over and got down in the dirt in his fancy clothes and helped my husband change the tire. After he had given all of us a hug and said if he haddent seen my kids he wouldent have stopped. The second time we were out having dinner at a very nice pizza place and we were being very carefull with how much we spent cause we didnt have that much money left. There was a gentlemen sitting a few booths away and pulled out a $20 out of his pocket and just placed it on our table and walked away. I was shocked that there are still people kind like that. All I could say was thank you. I was speechless.

Yes...Two Christmas's ago my wife and I were buying something for our daughter, but somehow we came up fifty over. We had originally put two things in the cart and couldn't figure out which one we wanted to buy for her. There was a man behind, us in line, and we we told the cashier which one to put back he told her to keep it and asked the cashier how much was left, and he proceeded to pay for it to our amazement.

You bet I have! I was a young mom trying to raise 2 small children with very little means. I had only a few dollars to my name, a week to go before payday and no groceries in the house. I went into the grocery store and was trying to make that few dollars go just as far as it could to keep my kids fed for the next week (I was clean and well dressed...did not "look" needy). A couple approached me in the store out of the blue and slipped a $50.00 bill into my hand, telling me that they just felt compelled to do it..not to argue with them about it...and walked away. There have been other incidents in my world where my family was "taken care of" out of the blue and I am a firm beleiver if we live by what we know to be right...you may not always have all of your "wants" in this life, but your needs will always be met. By the way...my life is much more stable at this point and I do actively practice random acts of kindness and give back whenever and wherever I can.
