I would like to take a few minutes to relay a story my sister told me today that really needs retelling. As many of you know last week a large section of the eastern USA was hit with a bad winter storm dumping several feet of snow in a lot of places. The fact that the forefront of the storm was a light powdery show did not help as much of it was blow and drifted into even higher piles. My brother in law thought he would try to dig his car out of the snow and slipped and fell. This was sad as he is not a young man anymore and has problems with his legs from time to time anyhow. He was luckily not hurt badly, but he decided to leave the rest of the snow where it was. I short time later he heard what sounded to him like someone inside their yard. He told my sister to have a look and she saw a man his wife and their 2 children shoveling the snow from their side walk. This family of snow angels shoveled not only my sisters side walks to the doors , but also shoveled the car out. When my sister asked them if they owed them anything for their efforts they told her no. They explained they had just moved back to the area and that they were staying with his mother. They told her they were trying to shovel out as many people as possible.
It makes me wanna cry at how nice these people were. Out of the goodness of their hearts they took it upon them selves to shovel out many people in the neighbor hood, and asked nothing in return. It makes me feel there is still hope for this world to have people who would go out of their way to help others and expect nothing back. WHY DOES THE NEWS MEDIA NOT FOCUSE ON SOME OF THESE ACTS WHEN THEY HAPPEN INSTEAD OF ALL THE NEGATIVITY. Do they not realize by focusing on the bad things people do they are sending a message that bad is noticed and nice is ignored? I feel if more attention was given to the good things people do there would be more people doing good things. It is like the song said SURE COULD USE A LITTLE GOOD NEWS TODAY. Alas the good deeds the people like these show angles do in the world are shadowed by the evil. Another song says Bad news travels like a wild fire and good news travels slow. Well I am going to try to make this good news travel a bit faster. If you like this story feel free to add your own stories of the angles among us that help others without looking for rewards to my page. I am sure we all would love reading the good news.
