> >> WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

> >> One day a man saw a old lady, stranded on the side of the
> >> road, but even in
> >> the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he
> >> pulled up in
> >> front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still
> >> sputtering when he
> >> approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was
> >> worried. No one
> >> had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to
> >> hurt her? He
> >> didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
> >>
> >> He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in
> >> the cold. He
> >> knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put
> >> in you.
> >>
> >> He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in
> >> the car where
> >> it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'
> >>
> >> Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that
> >> was bad
> >> enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put
> >> the jack,
> >> skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to
> >> change the tire.
> >> But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
> >>
> >> As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the
> >> window and began
> >> to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and
> >> was only just
> >> passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to
> >> her aid.
> >>
> >> Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk.. The lady asked how
> >> much she owed
> >> him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She
> >> already imagined
> >> all the awful things that could have happened had he not
> >> stopped. Bryan
> >> never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to
> >> him. This was
> >> helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who
> >> had given him
> >> a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and
> >> it never
> >> occurred to him to act any other way.
> >>
> >> He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the
> >> next time she
> >> saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the
> >> assistance they
> >> needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me.'
> >>
> >> He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been
> >> a cold and
> >> depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home,
> >> disappearing into
> >> the twilight.
> >>
> >> A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went
> >> in to grab a
> >> bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last
> >> leg of her
> >> trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two
> >> old gas
> >> pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress
> >> came over and
> >> brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet
> >> smile, one that
> >> even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The
> >> lady noticed
> >> the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never
> >> let the strain
> >> and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how
> >> someone who had so
> >> little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered
> >> Bryan .
> >>
> >> After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred
> >> dollar bill. The
> >> waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar
> >> bill, but the
> >> old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the
> >> time the
> >> waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could
> >> be. Then she
> >> noticed something written on the napkin.
> >>
> >> There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady
> >> wrote: 'You don't
> >> owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped
> >> me out, the
> >> way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here
> >> is what you
> >> do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'
> >>
> >> Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
> >>
> >> Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and
> >> people to serve,
> >> but the waitress made it through another day. That night when
> >> she got home
> >> from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the
> >> money and what
> >> the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much
> >> she and her
> >> husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going
> >> to be
> >> hard....
> >>
> >> She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping
> >> next to her,
> >> she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low,
> >> 'Everything's going to
> >> be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'
> >>
> >> There is an old saying 'What goes around comes around.' Today
> >> I sent you
> >> this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light
> >> shine.
> >>
> >> Don't delete it, don't return it. Simply, pass this on to a
> >> friend
> >>
> >> Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but
> >> you know they
> >> are always there.
> >>
> >> ~GOD BLESS!~
> >> ...Do not look at physical appearances,
> >> they can be deceiving.
> >>
> >> Do not look at riches,
> >> For they are only temporary.
> >> Look for someone who makes you smile.
> >>
> >> ...Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in
> >> your life makes all the difference.
> >>
> >> ...If a drop of water falls in a lake there is no identity.But
> >> if it falls on a leaf of lotus it will shine like a pearl...so
> >> choose the best place where you would shine... ;-)

> >>
> >> ...Never take some one for granted...Hold every person Close
