Drive-By Kindness

Imagine you are at the bus stop waiting for your bus. You've already been there for 10 minutes, and it seems that you'll be waiting there at least that much more or longer. And, to top it off, it's over 100 degrees. You're looking down wondering just how much time you actually spend right here waiting. Then in front of you a person stops and offers you an ice cold bottle of water! Aaaaahhhhhhh...

Well, that was our Saturday "mission" this month: just to cool off some very grateful people. Two of us hopped in a car and drove to nearby bus stops, handing out the ice cold water. We got responses ranging from "Really? This is for me? Wow!" and "Oooohhhhhh, thank you SO much! God bless you."

It was amazing and fun. I drove, sometimes we stopped and ran the waterbottles up to the people waiting for their buses, and other times (because of traffic), I simply pulled close to the side of the road and my friend rolled her car window down, handing them the water & a LIVe card.

It was great fun! I feel more blessed than the receivers.
