Thank goodness for the kindness of strangers


The other night we were at Wal-Mart. Ongo ran into the store while Caleb and I waited in the car. When Ongo came back, he went to start the car and it wouldn't start! We sat there for a few minutes while Ongo tried to start the car and then I decided to call the insurance company so we could get someone to come help us. Well, I was on the phone for a while and then the lady set up to have someone come help us, but right as she did that, this guy drove by in his truck and asked if we needed our car to be jumped. Ongo told him that we did, and as that happened, the two parking places next to us opened up and he was able to drive his truck in close enough to connect the jumper cables. After connecting the cars, we were able to get our car started. I was so grateful for the kindness of this guy. It was nice because if we would have had to wait for the insurance company, it probably would have taken another hour and Caleb was getting fussy. So needless to say--Thank you to the guy who helped us start our car! It is SOOO nice when people are willing to help others out.
