The Kindness of a Stranger

Hey yall! I have begun to see that people aren't as mean as I thought. With the cold weather my car has been acting up, and when your car gets stuck in the snow, people are a lot more willing to help out cuz they understand your pain. Like after the first time we had a huge storm my car battery was messing up and I had to get people to jump it, but then my car got stuck in a parking spot. Some random guy ran up to my car, that he just happened to be passing by at the time, and tried to push the car. Even though he couldn't get it to move he tried so hard and even tried to use an ice scraper to get ice from under my tires. My friends later pushed the car out later, but it was so sweet that he didn't know me and was willing to help no questions asked. Another example was today my car got stuck in snow, AGAIN, when I was trying to put a poster in my friend Lauren's truck cuz she has a broken foot and can't really get her knee scooter through the snow. This random, and attractive, guy just happened to be jogging by and ran to my car and told me to drive forward while he pushed. Just like last time this guy had no idea who I was and was still willing to help me out. God definitely had a hand in those situations and placed someone there at just the right time. So grateful! It seems that people that we don't know are the ones that are more willing to help out a lot of time. It's the kindness of a stranger.
But I also had some amazingly nice things come from people I know too. I'm going to New York this summer for summer project, and my grandma is totally against me going. So I called her up the day before her birthday just to chat and she says that she got my support letter and sent me $50 of the $3,250 that I need. So awesome! Then she proceeded to say that my dad was sending me money too and was asking people for addresses so I could send out more letters to people to raise the money. Woah! Such a God thing! My dad even gave me a check from the woman that does his taxes and she just gave him a $50 check to give to me towards NYC. Another act of kindness from a stranger! I don't deserve any of this, and I that it's God who is providing all of this. I will forever be amazed at how amazing the people in my life are!
