Day 30

My friend emailed me a wonderful story that occurred in Granada Hills, California, on the cross streets of Woodley and Devonshire to be exact. 

My friend was stopped at a light. There was a man driving a truck in the left turn lane next to her. When the light changed, he was struggling and could not get his truck to move because he had ran out of gas waiting at the light (and he was probably heading to the gas station on the corner). He put his hazards on. The people in the car behind him in the left turn lane put their hazard lights on too and jumped out to help push his truck into the gas station. However, that was not enough to get the car to move. There was a father and son at the gas station that ran across the street to help push as well. She said it was amazing to see all different ages and types of people jump out to help this man get his truck into the gas station. And to make matters even better, everyone in the intersection was at a complete stop allowing it to all happen safely. 

Amazing story. I loved reading it. She also mentioned to me that my blog has helped her become more aware of random acts of kindness. I was ecstatic to hear that. Awareness of other people is the first step. If you open your eyes to random acts of kindness, not only would you start to see great things, but you will also start to engage in them.
