Kindness of Strangers

Digital Scrapbook Place blog prompt:
Describe a time when you have benefitted from the kindness of a stranger.

Another college story: On our way to NJ, my roomates and I got stuck in a traffic jam - major jam near NY City. then my room mate's car dies - in the fast lane... not that crawling inch-by-inch was fast. We just liked being in the fast lane of this four lane highway. EEK! At the time, having a cell phone meant having huge antenias on your car. (yes, it was a lonnnggg time ago!) Thank goodness an older gentlemen with the antenias stopped and let us use his phone.

You know, I never really thought much about that until now. He didn't have to stop for us - although he couldn't really speed by in traffic, could he? I think God places who you need around you when you need them most.
