This is really nice, read it!
He almost didn't see the old lady, stranded on the
side of the road, but even in the dim light of day,
he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in
front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiacwas
still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No
one had stopped to help for the last hour or so.
was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he
looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out
there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that
chill which only fear can put in you.

He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you
wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name
is Bryan Anderson." Well, all she had was a flat
tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough.
Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to
put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two.
Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to
get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled
down the window and began to talk to him. She told
him that she was from St. Louis and was only just
passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for
coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady
asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have
been all right with her. She already imagined all
the awful things that could have happened had he not
stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid.
This was not a job to him. This was helping someone
in need, and God knows there were plenty who had
given him a hand in the past. He had lived
his whole life that way, and it never occurred to
him to act any other way. He told her that if she
really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw
someone who needed help, she could give that person
the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, "And
think of me."

He waited until she started her car and drove off.
It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt
good as he headed for home, disappearing into the
twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe.
She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the
chill off before she made the last leg of her trip
home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside
were two old gas
pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The
waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe
her wet hair. she had a sweet smile, one that even
being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase.
The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight
months pregnant, but she never let the strain and
aches change her attitude.

The old lady wondered how someone who had so little
could be so giving to a stranger. Then she
remembered Bryan .
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a
hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to
get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old
lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by
the time the waitress came back The waitress
wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed
something written on the napkin. There were tears in
her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: "You
don't owe me anything. I have been there too.
Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping
you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what
you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you."
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to
fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it
through another day. That night when she got home
from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking
about the money and what the lady had written. How
could the lady have known how much she and her
husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it
was going to be hard.

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay
sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and
whispered soft and low, "Everything' s gonna be all
right. I love you, Bryan Anderson."
