I'm so happy for Daniel, too. He's been going through a rough patch in his life right now and didn't need insult added to injury.

I'm happy for your son - our entire lives are in these phones these days:) Vishnuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170477648908809386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-33517609350842760282015-06-06T08:21:33.606-07:002015-06-06T08:21:33.606-07:00Oh, that's a wonderful story, Jean.

I remember those days all too well, though most of the time my kids were pretty good when we were in public, not so much at home. :)<br />And yes, there are many good people in this world and for that I am so thankful.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-13955221492218976822015-06-06T06:17:14.821-07:002015-06-06T06:17:14.821-07:00What a neat story and reminder that there still ar...What a neat story and reminder that there still are a lot of good honest people in the world. Too often we only see the bad. I think one good sam story sort of I best remember is when the kids were young and we were eating out at a fast food restaurant. you know how crazy kids can be in public but this was a rare time of good manners and lots of laughter. An older couple stopped at our table on their way out and complimented the kids on their behavior. Gave me hope maybe as parents we would make it out alive from that phrase/season in life. A kind word at the right time. Thanks for helping me remember that story, Martha.Jean Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407030126646055880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-86128158647576894912015-06-05T16:31:02.495-07:002015-06-05T16:31:02.495-07:00Oh, and praise those who still open doors for ladi...Oh, and praise those who still open doors for ladies! :) It is a gesture I truly treasure and brought my son up to do the same, as well as other polite gestures. I'm glad you've met young people who have a sense of right over wrong.<br />Today as we helped my son get his new car, I found out that the young man who actually found and returned his phone (which I now know feel out of a backpack pocket) is a professional piano teacher and tuner. Daniel thanked him by buying him a meal at the restaurant. I was so gratified to hear that!<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-13362766070267007562015-06-05T12:42:56.997-07:002015-06-05T12:42:56.997-07:00Martha, Thank you for sharing this story.

I've been blessed to meet youth who seem to know how to relate to others in a way that some times escapes people more than twice their age! There are still guys out there who open doors for ladies. :)<br /><br />Love and blessings!Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-59033525449846103682015-06-05T11:29:15.686-07:002015-06-05T11:29:15.686-07:00Yes, Betty, we sure do need those good people touc...Yes, Betty, we sure do need those good people touching our lives, especially when the world celebrates those who don't do the right thing.

He could have just walked right by that phone, or worse, took it and sold it. <br />I wrote about my Good Samaritan story a while ago. I left my iPAD at a Panera by mistake, and didn't remember that I did that for over an hour. I was so upset! But whoever found it, turned it in. God is so good, and so are his people. We are so blessed to have the 'good ones' find our property. <br /><br />It's no accident either. I think grace was definitely in the mix for both of us!<br />Weekend blessings,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-5765521256029451392015-06-05T04:42:07.519-07:002015-06-05T04:42:07.519-07:00Yes, Privy, people like this young man do, indeed,...Yes, Privy, people like this young man do, indeed, define hope for this world.

It is so important to be righteous and unfortunately these days the values have gone down by a very large extent. Amidst all of them such people surely define hope, that all is not gone down yet. There is still some goodness left in this world. Privy Trifleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317530852098436444noreply@blogger.com
