Mrs. Anderson was driving at top speed in the wee hours of the night. She had been told her husband had suffered a mild stroke but was in a stable condition now in a hospital in the centre of town.
Suddenly, one of her tyres burst out and she stopped to check for herself but she couldn't find anyone to help her do that. So she stood there by her car waiting for a good samaritan to show up and help her out.
That's when Joey Monti showed up. He asked if Miss Anderson needed help with her car and she said yes. He helped fixed another tyre into the old lady's car.
Thank you very much young man, I'm Sylvia Anderson. Here's a little token for you for your kindness towards me young man.
Joey rejected the puffy envelope from Mrs. Anderson after she had told him where she was going and why.
Spread the kindness on another person in my name. Make it contagious. That's all Joey said.
She drove a few metres to a restaurant nearby which was still open and sat down. A young woman named Stacy came up to her with a beaming smile and asked what can we offer you ma'am?? A cup of coffee. That's all. She said. Stacy came back and to her suprise, the old woman had already left.
But she had left the big puffy envelope on the table with a little note attached that read; a kind young man wants me to give this to you.
Tracy tore the envelope open and found a 1,000 dollars inside. She squeezed her hand in a morsel with tears of joy and said lord, thank you thank you. She had been praying for a miracle to help her pay off a student loan.
She went home and kissed her boyfriend who was sleeping on the forehead. She whispered softly to him; don't you worry, Joey, baby, somebody just paid off my loan. You don't have to work so hard to find money anymore.
Here is what this little story means; Joey rejected Mrs. Sylvia Anderson's offer even though he knew he needed money to pay off his girlfriend's (Stacy) student's loan. The kindness however returned back to Joey through her girlfriend Stacy at the restaurant.
Do you feel tired already because you have been doing good but yet with no reward??
Do not despair nor give up. Keep doing good and being Kind. Spread it around to everyone and make it contagious to reach everyone in this difficult times, as nations and individuals are dealing with the scare of the virus in their homes.
You might be surprised with the results.
Let the spirit of kindness move you today!
