Tuesdays Kindness Repaid

Good Morning Friends,

?

?Today’s message is an inspiring poem about making a difference in the lives of those we encounter. Whether it be with an open ear, a smile or words of kindness; by completing a random act of kindness for someone whether you know them or not can create a chain reaction of events that will surely come back to you!

Make Your Blessings be Many and Your Troubles be few.

???

Edgar A. Guest

You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside; you are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be contented to stay where you are.

Angels Unaware

It was a rainy night in New Orleans

At a bus station in the town,

I watched a young girl weeping

As her baggage was taken down.

It seems she'd lost her ticket

Changing buses in the night.

She begged them not to leave her there

With no sign of help in sight.

The bus driver had a face of stone

And his heart was surely the same.

"Losing your ticket's like losing cash money" he said,

And left her in the rain.

Then an old Indian man stood up

And blocked the driver's way

And would not let him pass before

He said what he had to say.

"How can you leave that girl out there?

Have you no God to fear?

You know she had a ticket.

You can't just leave her here.

You can't put her out in a city

Where she doesn't have a friend.

You will meet your schedule,

But she might meet her end."

The driver showed no sign

That he'd heard or even cared

About the young girl's problem

Or how her travels fared.

So the old gentleman said,

"For her fare I'll pay.

I'll give her a little money

To help her on her way."

He went and bought the ticket

And helped her to her place

And helped her put her baggage

In the overhead luggage space.

"How can I repay," she said,

"the kindness you've shown tonight?

We're strangers who won't meet again

A mere ' 'thank you ' doesn't seem right."

He said, "What goes around comes around.

This I've learned with time -

What you give, you always get back;

What you sow, you reap in kind.

Always be helpful to others

And give what you can spare;

For by being kind to strangers,

We help angels unaware."

Tuesdays humor, something to make you smile.......

??Airborne

A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were out for a Sunday

afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane

developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot the plane

started to go down. Finally the pilot grabbed a parachute, yelled to the

passengers that they had better jump, and bailed out. Unfortunately there

were only three parachutes remaining.

The doctor grabbed one and said "I'm a doctor, I

save lives, so I must live," and jumped out.

The lawyer then said, "I'm the smartest man in the world,

I deserve to live!" He grabbed a parachute and jumped.

The priest looked at the little boy and said, "My son, I've lived a

long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of

you. Take the last parachute and live in peace".

The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said

"Not to worry, Father. The smartest man in the world just jumped

out with my back pack."
