What is your greatest act of kindness? I was working around Ft Gay, West Virginia on the railroad tracks in the late fall of 2001. The way that I usually drove home was blocked because of an accident so I took an alternate route. As I drove, I noticed this young man walking with a thin jacket on and it was cold that evening. I stoped and asked if he wanted a ride. When he got in the truck I asked where he was going. "I just want to go home", he said."Where's home", I asked. " Honduras" he said "but I have family in Houston Texas. " I came here to work, worked two weeks and got no pay". My heart was broke. How could somebody do this to this poor kid. I drove him to the Greyhound bus station in Ashland,Kentucky. There I bought him a bus ticket to Houston and gave him money to eat on. I walked away from that bus station feeling like a million dollars. When I think about all of the circumstances that led up to this, first the way I always drove home was blocked. Second, I never cary that much money to work, and that day I had around three hundred dollars. I believe someone was praying for this young man and God sent me to get him.

We have friends that really count their pennies. They are God parents to our youngest son. I owned a travel agency and won a cruise, as a surpriseas I relived it as they were on it!
