The most amazing thing happened to me this morning! Lets rewind...a few weeks ago we were supposed to get snow and my tires were pretty bad. Called around but nobody had them in stock so I bought 2 used ones on Craigslist. Went to the shop to have them installed and the owner saw that my front 2 tires were pretty bad as well. Long story short he gave me 2 almost new tires and didnt charge me. He said the tires I had were in poor condition and he just didnt feel right about letting me leave the lot with my children knowing it was going to snow. Well, this morning after I dropped Nathan off at school I was driving down the road and saw a car that spun sideways and a lady and 2 small children standing on the side of the road. Normally I would have continued driving but for some reason I felt compelled to stop and see if she needed help. She told me her husband was on his way but he worked 40 minutes away in Peyton. I asked her if she wanted to sit in my car while she waited so the kids wouldnt freeze. She said yes and we chatted while we waited for her husband. Next thing we know, some idiot comes flying around the corner and slams into her car pushing it right where she was previously standing with her kids. The husband finally gets there and its the owner of the tire shop, the guy who gave me my tires! He recognized me and we chatted for a bit. He told his wife how he gave me my tires. They both thanked me and gave me a hug for stopping and helping bc if they wouldnt have gotten in my car they would have been hit by the car. So many kind people, total strangers, have done really nice things for me in the last couple of months. This really shows how paying it forward can come full circle! What a small world!! Im so glad I decided to stop and help! As the holidays approach, I urge u guys to be a little kinder to people, more patient...and if ur in a position to help someone who is in need of it, do it!! There a lot of ppl out there less fortunate than us and a random act of kindness may be just what they need. Who knows, you may be the one to put a much needed smile on someones face and it may come back to bless u at a time when u need help! #payitforward
