Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Mom To Others


--by lauraestel, posted Nov 1, 2011

 

We had a young lady come to our church one Sunday and I introduced myself. We began talking about how she came to our city and church.  
 
She came to our bible study one evening and asked me if she could get a ride home as she used public transportation and it was rather late in the evening. When I took her home I made sure that we exchanged phone numbers and told her that any time she needed a ride, or anything else, to give me a call.  
 
Since then she has used my number for rides, getting her medicine and, so touchingly, to say thank you. When she said she considered me her mother away from home it touched my heart deeply!   
 
Since our first meeting over a year ago we have developed a close relationship and she knows that I am there for her to share the good and bad. Her mom will be visiting in a few weeks and I am looking forward to meeting her.
