I have just got home from a three hour trip to Melbourne. During my two day stay I was eager to get back to my country town life. I often hear people say that this town's people are "clicky" or "gossips" or just plain weird. I try not to have my say but can't help myself by adding it's not only in that town it happens everywhere. And then of course others say in the cities people would walk right passed you if you were in of help. Well I have witnessed two things that have restored my faith in human-kind. The first was over a week ago when Mum and I had to get to a hospital appointment in Melbourne. We were told how to get there by tram and what stop to get off from the train staff, but about a month ago the hospital has been relocated. So we were standing out the front of the closed up building and a passer-by asks if we are needing help and tells us how to get there. Very grateful and a bit frazzled off we go on the next part of our journey. That day ended fairly well, but today really was the highlight of my third time in ten days. I was on a very crowded tram, when this lady stood by the ticket machine looking lost, turned and asked a young woman how to work the machine. She stood and explained how it all worked and added that it only takes coins, more people coming on and off didn't make it any easier. But this young woman watched while the lady placed in the coins, the lady was short of coins so the woman gave her a coin, she sat and nothing happened. The young woman then gave her another coin and the lady had her ticket, thanking the woman and trying to give her the $5 note. The young woman said no it's fine it doesn't matter. But I think it does... She was someone I would be proud to know and pleased to have as a friend. If others saw what I did, I pray that one out of them, would do something like that for someone else.

Have you ever heard the words, "How can I ever repay you?"
Or something like that, if not attempting to give you something?
The answer is simple, the next time you can do for another, do it and I will be more than paid in full.
Something I learned as a kid.
.
. Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you.
This time is short, serve Him well, serving all.
Without exception.
Know?
Yes?

Isn't it nice to see someone you don't know being kind? Thanks for sharing, sister.
