Paul Noll Has Five Lessons for You Lesson 2 - Not too Busy to Help Others
2.
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the
side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had
broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag
down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of
in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man took her to safety, helped her get
assistance and put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him.
Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant
console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It
read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The
rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's' bedside just
before he passed away... God Bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving
others.
