Thanks.<br /><br />Mermaid, yes, sweet lady, it is a shame they're kind are fewer and fewer. It was an enjoyable talk. Thank you.<br /><br />Odysseus, so true. Thank you.<br /><br />Kymber, Thank you. I too hope he returns. Matter of fact I'm sure he will. You mentioned treating strangers as if they were the embodiment of Christ...the was a lesson of my late mother. It stuck, for the most part. I try always to be as nice as possible to a person until they give me reasons otherwise.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752401490789789451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-82866210571120913172011-10-01T06:24:21.788-04:002011-10-01T06:24:21.788-04:00ahhh...dear friend - ya know i get all mushy and e...ahhh...dear friend - ya know i get all mushy and emotional with stuff like this.<br /><br />i truly believe that we must treat all strangers as if they were Jesus - what if this stranger really is Jesus? - that's what i try to keep in my mind at all times.<br /><br />even if they aren't Jesus - and are just people who might be able to teach us something that we don't already know - then THAT is a visit from Jesus.<br /><br />and just so y'all (a word i stole from MDR) don't think that i am some kind of Jesus Freak - i'm not! but i love some of the stuff that Jesus taught. i love some of the stuff that Rudolph Steiner taught. not that i am comparing the two.<br /><br />anyway - there is nothing as lovely as a stranger showing up bearing gifts AFTER you have done something lovely without even knowing it....<br /><br />good job, my friend. really good job. i hope that you meet up with this man again. he has much to teach.<br /><br />your friend,<br />kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-4744143152800792732011-09-30T22:34:47.723-04:002011-09-30T22:34:47.723-04:00A textbook example of true class and graciousness....A textbook example of true class and graciousness.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710666926746925370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-31635780692493517112011-09-30T20:44:39.900-04:002011-09-30T20:44:39.900-04:00That's touching.

Makes me sad when big companies tend to give the small guy the brush off. Not smart thing to do, they may become rich and famous, or have powerful family and friends. Never know who takes a liking to you for helping that helpless person out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-91299624543585954982011-09-30T14:56:10.081-04:002011-09-30T14:56:10.081-04:00Rev.
