ON ABC AMERICAN NEWS THIS EVENING:
A MAN PAST HIS MIDDLE AGE, FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS OF HIS 13 YEARS WITH A FIRM AS A MACHINIST, HAS WALKED 10 AND 1/2 MILES TO WORK AND BACK - 21 MILES PER WORK DAY. HIS OLD CAR GAVE UP THE GHOST TEN YEARS BACK.
AND IN THOSE 10 YEARS OF WALKING TO WORK HE'D NEVER MISSED A DAY!
A BANKER SEES HIM WALKING AT VARIOUS TIMES ON HIS DRIVE INTO THE BANK. ONE DAY HE OFFERS HIM A RIDE; THEY BECOME FRIENDS.
THE BANKER GOES TO THE LOCAL PAPER TO HAVE THEM DO A STORY ON HIM.
A YOUNG MAN [ I THINK THEY SAID 21] SEES THE STORY, DECIDES TO PUT UP A WEBSITE FOR HIM AND ASK FOR DONATIONS TO BUY THE FELLOW A $5,000 USED CAR.
WELL WITHIN HOURS THEY GOT 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS, THEN 10, THEN 40, THEN 100, THEN 200, THEN 300 THOUSAND DOLLARS!
THEY TAKE HIM TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR HIS CAR; THE DEALERSHIP HAND HIM THE KEYS...... AND THEY GIVE HIM A NEW FORD TAURUS!
THE YOUNG MAN WHO STARTED THE DONATION SITE WILL NOW HELP HIM PLAN FOR HIS RETIREMENT WITH THE MONEY RAISED.
ALL OF THIS STILL SHOWS THERE ARE MANY REALLY FINE GENEROUS PEOPLE OUT THERE; EACH GIVING SOMETHING...... WOW WHAT IT CAN ALL ADD UP TO.
THAT MAKES MY HEART SING!
YES THERE ARE MANY MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE SERVING, DONATING, SPENDING TIME, GIVING TO OTHERS, AND TO THOSE HELPING RESCUE ANIMALS FROM DIFFERENT SAD SITUATIONS OF ONE KIND OR ANOTHER.
THERE ARE MANY WORTHY CAUSES FOR PEOPLE TO GET INVOLVED IN, AND IT SURE IS GREAT TO SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE DO.
