Kindness and a Burned-Out Bulb

"I shall pass through this world but once.  Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now.  Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."
~ Stephen Grellet

On a recent morning while I was still at home, a mom friend texted "the left rear brake light on your minivan is out."  I wondered if the text was for me -- I don't drive a minivan -- and then it occurred to me that she might have just seen my husband dropping off the children at school.  I asked her if it was his car.  Yes, she said.  She had seen one of my children getting out of the car, and as she did not have my husband's phone number, she texted me.  My husband was slightly bewildered when I texted him a few minutes later to tell him that one of his car lights was out.
