First there were TWO..

Evs and I had a neat experience yesterday, Saturday 20 FEB 2010. (Ok maybe it was just neat for me to watch as I followed behind with my hazards on..) So this is how it went down we had just finished doing our taxes and then eating at Chili's and we were heading to Ewa Beach for Evs internship at Campbell High School. We saw this car with their hazard lights on, broken down. They wave us to pass them and as we are about to pass them we stop and say," Hey you need help?" The guy in the car was like, "Yea." So we stopped where we were in the far right lane, put our haz lights on and ran over to help this guy and gal push their car out of the middle lane. They pushed it right in front of ours and then we all decided we needed to move it on the next street because it was going to be blocking one lane still. So Evs helped him keep pushing and I run back to get our car so its not blocking a lane and I follow them. Meanwhile we were at the stoplight and all of a sudden I see guy number 3 come running from the car behind me. I was feeling better for Evs and the other guy since they were going to have to push the car up a steep hill soon (apparently the other guy wasn't that strong though and wasn't helping too much, but its the thought that counts right? of course it is!) So as the three of the guys try to plow up the hill, out of nowhere BIG guy number 4 comes around to finish off the deal and helps them get the car up the hill. (Dear BIG GUY NUMBER 4, THANK YOU! whoever you are and wherever you came from, my husband was working very very hard and might have busted a gut pushing the car up that hill with those two other dudes). Needless to say we were in the right place at the right time. Because we chose to stop and take a second to help someone in need, a domino effect happened and two others partook of service that day as well. Its amazing how one choice we make can create so much good. It was surely a feel good day yesterday. We love to serve! There are always opportunities to serve, its a matter of looking around and taking a second to step outside of your zone to reach out and see what you can do. Serving isnt about getting recognized; its about doing because you would hope someone would help you if you were in need.
