An Unforgettable Morning at the Airport

--by stars24, posted Dec 31, 2011

It was an unusual time with so much happening in my life. I was on my way to visit my sick mom, who passed away shortly after my visit. So much was going on and I arrived earlier than usual at the airport.

When I arrived at the airport, I went to get some breakfast. After getting breakfast, I slipped on some water on the floor and the food spilled all over. I was embarrassed, but also feeling down because of the situation with my mom. I felt all eyes in my direction. I just wanted to disappear.

I then went to sit in a different part of the airport. Sitting there, I began to cry silently. Shortly after, a man came toward me and said that he wanted to buy me breakfast. I said it was not necessary, but he insisted. He came back with a tray of warm food and a drink and a big smile.

I thanked him for his kindness. My thanks to him was in the form of a prayer for him and his famliy. That morning breakfast gave me not only physical strength, but moral strength as well. I just felt so loved by a God who sees all things.

I wanted to do the same for another human being. I will never forget that morning at the airport.

It touched my heart a lot, having been in the situation of crying in an airport (though not for the same reason). You feel so exposed! Many blessings on that gentleman, and hugs to you for the loss of your mother.

I am so glad you felt loved and cared for at that moment. May your dream to pay your love forward be met shortly by the kind universe, Bluxess.
