In today's world we sometimes forget that there are people less fortunate than we are.  Ok, there are some days that you see people by the side of the road and they have a worn out sign they are holding asking for help.

I have seen many cars just pass by when the light turns green.  I've done it.  But about a week ago I was exiting the freeway and saw a man at the light collecting money from the various people waiting for the light to turn green.

I sat there and wondered Wow!  All these people are giving him money.  I was smiling that people were giving from there heart and if you know me I have a big HEART.

As the line moved forward, this man came into clear view.  He was hopping up and down the lanes.  It looked like one of his legs was amputated.

My heart dropped and I couldn't help but wonder what happened to this man? 

As the light turned green and I pulled forward I pulled out a $5 bill and rolled down my window and gave the money to him.  He smiled and said God Bless You!

I said God Bless You!  He replied, "He has he lead you down this road today!"

I could feel the tears filling up in my eyes.  I couldn't believe he saw that God put me in the right place at the right time.  And it was true; I don't usually get off at that off ramp.  And my rational mind told me to go a different way, but my subconscious took me the way of this man.

I haven't seen that man again on the off ramp of that freeway.  But whether God lead me to him that day I will never know for sure, but I have let God lead the way.

I must have set an example for my husband, because last night he went to 7 Eleven to buy a 7 Up and a man in a wheel chair, we helped once before with his phone, was talking to my husband and said he hadn't eaten in 4 days.

Padraic didn't have much money but bought the man a sandwich and gave him a $1.  Wow!  Padraic was lead by God.

Good People are out there!  1 man can feed millions and never get reconginition, and millions can feed 1 man and get recognition, which one are you?

I am hoping that if you are reading this that you have seen the movie Pay It Forward, but if you haven't I seriously recommend seeing this movie.  It will be a True way to Celebrate Good News.

I have lived my life by helping others and knowing that God/Universe would come full circle and help me out in the time of need.

In the past month, I have truly been living my life this way. 

A couple of weeks ago I purchase an all day bus pass.  I didn't realize it at the time that I wouldn't need the ticket because I was taking the train for my return trip.  I approached a couple waiting for the bus at the transportation center here in Southern California.  I asked, "Are you waiting for the bus?"  And they said, "Yes."  I handed them my bus ticket.  They offered to purchase it from me and I said just Pay It Forward.  They were astonished that I would not ask for them to pay for it and I just gave it to them.  They were extremely appreciative.

February 21, 2008, I was picking up our truck from the shop and the rental car that we had, somehow the keys go locked in the car.  I had 40 minutes to get to the shop to pick up the truck and roadside assistance said they would be there in 30 minutes.  I had to figure out another way to get to the shop.  I asked a lady if I could walk through the park to get to the main street, she said she didn't know if there was access.  Out of nowhere, another lady, Patty, said it would take to long to go through the park and that she would give me a ride.  WOW, a kind person!  Patty said that if everyone did something good this would be a better world.  She is my kind of person.  She programmed her car with the address and away we went.  A complete stranger offered me a ride.  Patty is an extremely nice lady for doing this.  And I remembered that I have given my bus ticket way weeks prior.

Last night, February 27, 2008, I was out having dinner with my parents & friends and there was a more mature gentleman sitting alone eating dinner.  Quietly sitting there not speaking to anyone, not even the server.  I was compelled to buy him dinner.  I called the server over and asked for the gentleman's check.  I asked the server not to say anything to the man.  When he found out that his check was paid for, he started to smile, his whole demeanor changed, and he even started up a conversation with the server.  It was a GREAT feeling to have made someone happy.
