Last Monday, I was on my way to Lowe’s to buy a snow shovel. I saw this lady using a crutch hobbling through the snow; that is, 5 inches of show and it was still snowing! I turned around and picked her up. She was traveling about 1 mile to a physical therapy appointment. She was hit by a car 2 years ago and is still feeling the effects from the accident.
Wow! After dropping her off, it made me grateful for what I have. It seemed to reduce the size of my shortcomings and weaknesses and made me grateful for all that I have.

It was really easy for me to give her a ride. It was impossible for her to give herself a ride.

That is a cool story. Glad you could help her.
I have a good news story:
Last Wednesday I was driving home and got stuck in an icy, snowy gutter. There were four people that stopped to help me and get my car out! Hurrah for nice people!
