Here is one of those moments of kindness since you asked to hear of them.
When I was 17 I had just broken up with my boyfriend and was heartbroken. My friends and I decided to go out of town to an amusement park which was a few hours drive. We got a hotel room and we're going to the park early in the morning. I was with 2 couples and they started getting intimate and it really made me hurt thinking about my boyfriend and I decided they deserved some privacy so I took a little money and drove around till I found a fast food restaurant. The drive through was shut down and so I went in. When I came out I had locked my keys in the car. I had a couple dollars on me at best. I told the people in the restaurant and they said "sorry, nothing we can do". I couldn't remember the name of the hotel or our room number. I called home and my mother went to Reno without telling me so no answer. I tried to call friends. I should have called the police but I was 17 and sobbing hysterically and by this time forgot what direction the hotel was in or how to even get back to it. I made frantic phone calls for hours as I sobbed. A lady came out and asked me what was wrong. I told her and described the hotel and she knew where it was and drove me there. The relief I felt when getting back to my friends was unbelievable. I asked her "why did you help me" she said "because I'm a Christian and that is what we do". I'm not religious but I will always remember her face and her kindness. I consider her an earthly angel and I'm grateful she came to my rescue that night.
