One day a man saw a old lady,
stranded on the side of the road, but
even in the dim light of day, he could
see she needed help. So he pulled up
in front of her Mercedes and got out.
His Pontiac was still sputtering when
he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she
was worried. No one had stopped to
help for the last hour or so. Was he
going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe;
he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened,
standing out there in the cold. He
knew how she felt. I t was that chill
which only fear can put in you.
He said, “I’m here to help you,
ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car
where it’s warm? By the way, my
name is Bryan Anderson.”
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but
for an old lady, that was bad enough.
Bryan crawled under the car looking
for a place to put the jack, skinning
his knuckles a time or two. Soon he
was able to change the tire. But he
had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts,
she rolled down the window and
began to talk to him. She told him
that she was from St. Louis and was
only just passing through. She
couldn’t thank him enough for coming
to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her
trunk. The lady asked how much she
owed him. Any amount would have
been all right with her. She already
imagined all the awful things that
could have happened had he not
stopped.
Bryan never thought twice about
being paid.
This was not a job to him. This was
helping someone in need, and God
knows there were plenty, who had
given him a hand in the past. He had
lived his whole life that way, and it
never occurred to him to act any other
way.
He told her that if she really wanted
to pay him back, the next time she
saw someone who needed help, she
could give that person the assistance
they needed, and Bryan added, “And
think of me.”
He waited until she started her car
and drove off. It had been a cold and
depressing day, but he felt good as he
headed for home, disappearing into
the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady
saw a small cafe. She went in to grab
a bite to eat, and take the chill off
before she made the last leg of her
trip home. It was a dingy looking
restaurant. Outside were two old gas
pumps. The whole scene was
unfamiliar to her. The waitress came
over and brought a clean towel to
wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet
smile, one that even being on her feet
for the whole day couldn’t erase. The
lady noticed the waitress was nearly
eight months pregnant, but she never
let the strain and aches change her
attitude. The old lady wondered how
someone who had so little could be so
giving to a stranger. Then she
remembered Bryan .
After the lady finished her meal, she
paid with a hundred dollar bill. The
waitress quickly went to get change
for her hundred dollar bill, but the old
lady had slipped right out the door.
She was gone by the time the
waitress came back. The waitress
wondered where the lady could be.
Then she noticed something written
on the napkin.
There were tears in her eyes when she
read what the lady wrote: “You don’t
owe me an anything. I have been
there too. Somebody once helped me
out, the way I’m helping you. If you
really want to pay me back, here is
what you do: Do not let this chain of
love end with you.”
Under the napkin were four more $
100 bills.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar
bowls to fill, and people to serve, but
the waitress made it through another
day. That night when she got home
from work and climbed into bed, she
was thinking about the money and
what the lady had written. How could
the lady have known how much she
and her husband needed it? With the
baby due next month, it was going to
be hard….
She knew how worried her husband
was, and as he lay sleeping next to
her, she gave him a soft kiss and
whispered soft and low, “Everything’s
going to be all right. I love you, Bryan
Anderson.”
There is an old saying “What goes a
round comes around.” Today, I sent
you this story, and I’m asking you to
pass it on .. Let this light shine.
Don’t delete it, don’t return it. Simply,
pass this on to a friend
Good friends are like stars….You don’t
always see them, but you know they
are always there.
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
