“The world about us is getting darker by the day and few are willing to do anything about it. If all one does is light one small candle it does my heart good and I will rejoice.”

Good and strong words, Kartographer.

Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Great story and a lesson for everyone....Didn’t read all the replies but agree with the ones I read. How unfortunate that something like this gets publicity when it should be common place. It used to be>>>>>>>>

Same mentality as LGBTs are brave and courageous and everyone else should put them on pedestals.

A simple “thank you” is sufficient for cutting up the meat.

Many years ago I moved from WDC to Southern UT. People are so nice, honest, friendly and helpful here. The word in WDC was if you wanted a friend you had to get a dog. True. Pa6.

Hoping I could get in before the ‘turds’ jumped into the punch blow. Should have known better.

I just notice that I never posted the full comment. something happened in the formatting.

It also teaches that anyone else who displays such kindness should expect huge rewards.

When I help someone (who I am not obligated to help) I feel good about it. Reward? Nice but not expected, or missed if not forthcoming.
