Pay It Forward
Pay It Forward
Gmorning,
Just had another view and run thro the latest video...
Promoting the act of doing good as a sort of paying it forward...
There's a big screen movie entitled Pay It Forward...
The central theme is just as this video clip portrays...
The good you do sets off a chain that will go around....
And somehow that good will come back to you manifold......
In this video clip, Byran Anderson helped a lady from out of town...
She was apprehensive, cold and miserable waiting for help to come around...
It has been an hour, the heavy traffic zipped endlessly by her....
None has bothered to stop to assist this lady in her hour of need...
Well, Byran Anderson, he slowed down his beat up saloon car...
Got down on the cold and wet ground, laboriously did a tyre change for her car...
Ensconced in the warmth of his car, the lady felt very indebted...
Kept up a pleasant conversation while Byran finished up on his efforts...
When all was done, she was ready to pay for the timely assistance at any price
But refusing any payment, the Good Samaritan in Byran exhorted....
That as payment, this lady is to render assistance to wherever it was needed ...
At her next stop of her journey, this lady observed a heavily pregnant waitress...
Laboriously providing cheerful service when she should be resting being so advanced in pregnancy...
When she was finished with her meal, the lady quietly paid and left a hefty tip under a table napkin...
Leaving behind a very surprised and grateful waitress into her last month of pregnancy...
When she was finished for the night, this waitress wearily returned to her home...
Tonight was a good night, she brought a sizeable amount of tips home...
She did wonder who that generous lady had been, a stranger who tipped so generously...
She and her husband, times were tough and with a baby due soon enough...
Every little extra bit from her tips was a very welcomed gift from God....
Tonight she felt relieved and elated, she lovingly kissed her sleeping beloved....
"Everything's going to be alright. I love you, Byran Anderson."
This is such a fabulous story of doing something good...
And the message that an act of kindness or good ....
Will set off a chain of events we can never hope to comprehend. ..
Save a belief that further good is at hand and will not end...
If only you and me, we pass on the good to the next one in line...
Pay it forwards, my friends...
Now, when will 2.6b be in my bank...???
