Thanks, Larry

Today I was at the gas station, with my car on empty, a good half hour away from home. And the machine kept declining my credit card and I had no cash and there was no money in my account to take out of the ATM. So the guy at the cash register, Larry, was trying to make the thing take my card. But it didn't work. And the didn't take checks. So this guy I've never seen before in my life, slides his own card thru and fills up my tank. Why? I have no idea. And he wouldn't let me write him a check for the money. I was totally blown away at the kindness of a complete stranger. Know that verse about being nice to strangers cuz "some have entertained angels w/o knowing it"? Maybe Larry was my angel. LOL. Anyways, it really challenged me to be more loving and selfless like that. I'm sure there was a lot more fun things he could have done with 20 bucks. Anyways, thank you God that he was so incredibly kind and thanks, Larry, whoever you are.
