It was by chance that I found a woman's iPod along with her American Express card during a recent shopping trip to a local grocery store. Realizing how upset and concerned she would be upon discovering her missing items, I immediately dropped them off at the Customer Service Desk. Hopefully the owner would be immediately notified, and she could return to the store to reclaim her lost belongings.
The following day, I went to a Lowe's Hardware store to shop for a list of items my husband needed for a project he had scheduled. After completing the purchases, I returned to my car, got in the driver's seat, and put the key in the ignition to start it and to begin the drive back to my home. That was when I discovered I had left the headlights on, and that my car battery was dead. When I glanced up, I noticed two young women parked next to me and both were pointing at the hood of my car in acknowledgement of my predicament. Before I could even consider what I needed to do next, one of the young women appeared in front of my car with a set of jumper cables. It seemed to all happen so quickly. In less than a minute the two young women had my car back in running order. I felt such gratitude for the kindness they had shown, and they, in turn, expected nothing back for going out of their way to help me. I have always been a firm believer in practicing the Golden Rule. The rewards of honoring the sweet simplicity of that rule.. just might be returned to you sooner than you could possibly ever imagine.
