 One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road needing
help. She looked worried in spite of smile on his face. No one had stopped to help
for the last hour. He could see that she was frightened. He said, “I’m here to help
you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my
name is Bryan Anderson.”
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough.
Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his
knuckles in the process. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty
and his hands hurt.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she
owed him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she
saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they
needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.”
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a
bite to eat, and take the chill off. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel
to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile. The lady noticed the waitress was
nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her
attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving
to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollars bill. The
waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollars bill, but the old lady
had slipped right out the door. She was gone. The waitress wondered where the
lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin. There were tears
in her eyes when she read what was written: “You don’t owe me anything. I have
been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you
really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end
with you.” Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but
the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work
and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had
written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed
it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard.
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her,
she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, “Everything’s going to be all
right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.”
