Yesterday on my drive home, I saw something that warmed my heart and renewed my belief that there are good people left in the world. A gentleman had broken down in the middle turning lane. Three random guys stopped to help him push his vehicle into a parking lot of a near by store.I also noticed that a lady in the lane that would have to be crossed had stopped, in order to hold up oncoming traffic.
It was so nice to see someone helping out someone else, just simply because they needed it. A lot of times we get so caught up in our own lives, and goings on that we forget to look around and see whats going on. Growing up in the South, your raised to help your neighbor, just because he is your neighbor and it's the right thing to do. You don't do it because you could possibly get something out of it or for recognition. It is something you do just because it needs to be done. Times have changed a lot since I was a kid, even though it hasn't been that long ago. Helping others is not as common place as it once was, but boy was it nice to see.
