What a blessing

This past weekend Chris had to unexpectedly go home to be with his family, and in doing so he used almost all the money he had. I knew that he would not get paid again for another two weeks. Which ment he would have no food and no gas. My parents knew this too. So mom and I went to the grocery store and bought him some food (we were also buying us food!) Then he called while he was gone and asked if I could buy him minutes for his phone. Of course I did, I really knew that I couldn't afford to do it but I knew that it was the right thing to do. Well then he came home and his car needed work. This is where I was so completely awed at my parents. He told me what it was doing so I told my dad (who is a genious at cars) what Chris told me. Dad knew what was wrong and how to go about and get it fixed. So we took it to Firestone and dropped it off. Chris told mom that if they couldnt do it for free not to worry about, then she told him that it was not going to be free and she knew how much it would cost. He then in turn replied "I dont have that kinda money" She smiled and said, " I DO"

Well the car had other things wrong with it that we didnt know and my parents just had it fixed. Not expecting him to do anything in return. It just amazes me that they would just do it without any hesitation. Then he asked how much it cost, and I told him not to worry about it that it was a gift. It was not only a sacrifice and also a blessing for my parents but also for me. I cant say why but God knows and I was willing and so were my parents. I thank God that I have a family that is so giving, even though we dont always get along but when it comes to helping people, they never hesitate. That is an awesome blessing!
