!-! Desitarka.org !-! Rewards

 

Rewards   I was having a bad time. I was having ever present opposite sex problems.  I was feeling down and depressed.   Usually at lunch time I would drive somewhere, park and eat or just pick up something and go back to work.   I stopped for fast food and decided that I would take a drive but not in my usual direction but the opposite way. I would take a drive but not in my usual direction but the opposite way. I was driving and beating myself up for being nice to people and never getting it back in return. I had just made the resolve to never be a nice girl. I would make every one pay. I then heard something making a noise under my car. I continued to drive but still the noise was there.   I finally stopped and found that something had fallen off the bottom of the car. Blaming the day and thinking that I was in no mood for this, I pulled out my cell phone but the battery was dead. What next!!! I asked a neighbor to use the phone to call a colleague from work to collect me as I was only minutes away. He was not there and did not answer his cell either. I called another friend who was an hour away. So all I could do was sit and wait. Barbados is a very hot country, so I put my air conditioner on and rolled up all the windows and locked the doors. Five minutes passed and I heard a knock on the door. I looked around to see a man in the dirtiest of clothes looking in at me. I thought, "Great, now on top of everything I'm going to be robbed in broad daylight". For some reason I opened the window. He asked me if he can look at my car.  He told me to pull off the road. I did because the woman who gave me the phone call was watching so maybe he wouldn't try anything. I pulled off the road and this man went flat on his stomach and under my car. He came out a few minutes later, told me he was coming back, went to a house and got something, went back under the car and then came out and told me I could go. I asked him if it will keep me until I get to a mechanic and he said I didn't need a mechanic because he fixed it. A screw was ripped out and he put another one in its place all in five minutes.   I shook his hand and thanked him (even though he didn't want to touch me because he was dirty).   I left there thinking that I would never let anyone "put my light out." We look for rewards through the persons we are nice to but very rarely do we get them back. It is complete strangers who show us kindness. This is what makes this world so fascinating.   The man was a mechanic and I had pulled up two doors away from his shop. He didn't have to help me, I did nothing for him. He may probably never meet me again, but he changed my perspective on life completely. He made my day have meaning, and I am grateful for that . As grumpy as I was, God sent me a blessing. I now know what a MountainWings Moment feels like. Don't stop being nice. Keep it up. You will reap great rewards.    by ,~Ganelle from Barbados~     ~Have A Great Monday~   Lucy
