Kindness on the Side of the Road

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it."
~ Hebrews 13:2

An older woman I know works in the evenings as a housekeeper.  On her way to work, one of her tires blew out on a busy street.  She pulled over to the side as best she could and called her son, who said he would get there as soon as he could, but he needed to pick up his daughter from daycare.  The woman sat and waited in her car.  A gentleman, who seemed to be on his way home from work, stopped and asked her what was wrong.  She speaks very little English and he spoke little Spanish, but she pointed and he understood.  After asking her if she had a spare, he rolled up his sleeves and changed her tire.  The woman was so grateful, but all she could do was put her hands together in thanks and point to heaven.  I am sure the Good Samaritan understood.
