Kindness of a Stranger!!
I am overwhelmed at the kindness of a stranger that we recently met. The first day Grandma and Grandpa were here we were doing laundry and Pam noticed the washer was broke-not worth fixing and the dryer was close behind. We don't really have money for a new one, but need one so we go look, first at Sears, but wanted to see what other places had so we went to home depot. They had nothing we liked so Josh and Randy went back to Sears to buy one. Josh let the lady behind him go first, one thing led to another and that lady was getting a brand new very expensive washer and dryer and wanted to know if her "old" set would be donated. She ended up telling Josh that if he came and picked it up we could have it for free. Her old set is beautiful. The washer is maybe a year old and the dryer is maybe two. She probably could have gotten a couple of hundred for them, but she just gave them to us for free. She saved us about $1000.00. You just don't usually find people like that. All that she asked was that if we find someone in need we do the same. It kind of makes you wonder if you really do all you can to help people you don't know out!!

How nice is that. Kindness really does payoff in the end.
