Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Close To God

I have just had a beautiful compliment. I was at the chemist collecting my daughter's medication and she asked me to nip into the shop next door to get some energy drinks for her, she was about to travel on a train and she tires easily. The shop did not have what she wanted so I went to the garage near my home. As I came out of the garage I could see Margaret across the busy road. I thought to myself she'd just got off the bus and was on her way to her daughter's house which is next door to me.  I thought  I'd give   her a lift to her daughter's house. 

Then from across the busy road I could  see the elderly lady I thought was Margaret going a different direction down a different side street. I was surprised because I was really sure it was Margaret. In fact, I was so sure I went to the trouble of waiting to drive across the busy road to go to Margaret.

By the time I caught up with the elderly lady she was at the bottom of a cul de sac and looked confused as she didn't recognize where she was. It was indeed Margaret. Though I have spoken to her before and given her a lift she needed reminded of who I was. Margaret got in my car. Then she gave me a huge kindness: 'You must be close to God'. Wow!! Margaret is very Christian and couldn't believe that the instant she realized she was lost and confused,   I was there.

We arrived at her daughter's house, it seemed in darkness and I didn't think Julie was in. I told Margaret to go and check, that I had to take Lauren to the train station, if Julie wasn't at home I'd bring Margaret back to her own house. You'd have thought I'd given her a fortune. I went to my house and Lauren got in the car, then I saw Julie with Margaret.

Margaret thinks I was kind to her today. Truth is though that her words will stay with me for a long time. I'm so happy too that the first shop I went to didn't have what Lauren wanted otherwise I'd never have got this beautiful compliment or more importantly, to help  Margaret 💓
