Robb has always told me not to stop for hitchhikers, but they weren't asking and Meri's heart is bigger than Texas so we did. The women ran to the car, one of them older than me. It was hot out. Turns out they'd run out of gas and the only cell phone they had on them was dying but not before the younger one showed me a pic of her newest granddaughter. We plugged it in to give it a little more juice. The older woman was the mother and actually from Texas visiting. They had just been in another town visiting the husband who was in prison. With the story they told, it broke my heart. But we dropped them off at the next truck stop and our ways parted. My prayers are longer these days.McValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285808958951068897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-58671373910324399672018-07-04T03:20:20.276-04:002018-07-04T03:20:20.276-04:00Hello there, this is my first time commenting. I ...Hello there, this is my first time commenting. I had to tell you that it was wonderful what you did and that you affect others in a positive way when they witness something like that. I came across a homeless man asleep on the street (at least I hope he was just asleep) as I walked out of a coffee shop. I continued to walk past him like everyone else was doing, but soon it was too painful for me to continue. I turned around and walked back to him and set my just-bought (untouched) beverage by him hoping he would have it when he awoke. After doing this and as I started to leave, I was surprised when I looked up and saw several people watching me...one women smiled at me, I didn't expect it. One simple, kind act can impact many. I loved this post so much, thank you for it :)<br /><br /><br />D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
