The Cost of Kindness

It's hard enough to be nice, at least for me, but when added costs reveal themselves it becomes less of a difficulty. Go ahead and read that again, it might not have said what you expected it to.

I was on my way home and I saw a car stalled in a very busy intersection. I decided to be a good Christian and turn around. I helped the guy push his car through the intersection. I returned to my car and started on the way home. I soon realized I could not find my phone. It was well after dark, so I went home and got a flash light and returned to the scene of the "Big Push."

I found my phone. Of course you can see the picture above. Of course I don't have insurance on the phone, so it cost me $150 to replace it. Yes, I use a pretty versatile phone that allows me to do many things. I have to admit although I hated to spend the money, I did not get very frustrated. Yah, kindness can be expensive, but there is something about knowing you did what you should have that makes the expense worth it.
