Credit goes out to (the author) several people who collective made this such meaningful and loving story. Thank you one and all.
I pulled up to the hardware store and watched this take place right in front of me. This guy sees two kids walking in the pouring rain while one is pushing his broken bicycle and he stops everything he is doing and spends 5 minutes getting drenched with rain while he fixes this little boy’s bike. These kids rode off so happy and he left with a smile on his face from ear to ear. As a matter of fact, he put a smile on my face too. This is the America that I know. High five to you good sir!
The greatest thing I can do as a human being is serve God and serve my fellow man. It never goes out of style to be a good person. In a world full of takers, be a giver. In a world full of selfish people, be the selfless one. In a world full of anger and hate, be the one who always shows love. I spend my life helping others who are struggling with addiction. My wife and I work 7 days a week helping folks who are struggling. If you or someone you know is struggling and needs help finding detox and treatment resources, then message me immediately. It’s time to start helping others. You can change the world, one person at a time. (author)
We are more that the media think and preach. It is past time to stand up and show who we really are, and teach our children to believe in the good and not what media, politicians, and negative social media want us to believe. Just do the right thing. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Know there are bad people who will hurt you, so be careful, but let your light shine.
We need to spread the good news every chance we get. So I'm sharing...lets get it viral.
This is how Americans are supposed to act towards each other.
I worked in construction in the fifties and no one spoke of color. All the guys took care of me since I was young with no experience. The good old days when people looked out for each other.
So awesome! Some folks need to learn from this lesson! We all need to help each other...always!
Thats the American way absaluty brought a tear to my eye it was a joyous tear and people like him and I and you who ever reads this we are every where...
Love this!!!! It’s America you just have to believe it and be a decent human being!!! Posting positive things we see is part of the solution, much of the negativity is fabricated
Doesn't get much better than that. Those kids will remember that their whole life and hopefully pay it forward when they have the chance!
We need to share this type of stories because I believe there are many more people out there helping others - they just don’t make the news and they should
Kindness knows no bounds. Opportunities to show kindness are all around us… we just have to slow down and act.
Actions like this change perceptions of one another. They’ll never forget this situation and will talk about it even when they’re older.
"A man never stands as tall, as when he kneels to help a child " - Roman adage
Teach em young.... they'll do the same. Faith restored. It doesn't cost a nickel to be a good human being. Some of the biggest things in life are really the small things we do for each other. That's alright alright alright with me.
This is contagious.
If enough of us practice this, it will be the norm.
If our leaders set the example, it will be the norm.
There's hope.
There are still kind people in the world God is always around to touch a person when they need help no matter what color they may be. God don't care about a color jus give home the praises
This is America! Just the way I grew up, not colorized, just American kids riding their bikes & having fun!
This is awesome, we need more positive posts like these. If we all participated in doing acts of kindness our world would be a much better place for sure. Try it, I dare each and everyone of you.
Awesome.....this is why I don't buy into the division and alleged racism problem in our Country.
This Life All About Helping Hands No Matter What Colors Humans Races
Is Working Together
And Don’t Need Racist War
Just Need To Have Peace Helping Hands Together
Yes need to go back to the basics when people were proud of America, stood up for what they believe in without getting shamed. When the news would have heart warming stories like these. When hate wasn't being taught by our government. We need to all ban together and spread the love no matter what race, gender or political views are. God bless America!!
You're a good person for providing this touching moment in America.. Positive posts like this provide hope that there is still goodness in our country. I see a gentleman with a mighty good heart helping two young men who will probably never forget his kindness. If not for your post, I would have continued to skim through my FB routine without pause. But thanks to you and these three unassuming souls, I stopped for a few minutes to enjoy the pause that refreshes. Made my day, brother...
This is wonderful.
But now you just never know... could he be a trafficker/kidnapper or could he be a genuinely good man helping a kid. It's just so sad. I hate that I have become so cynical and untrusting of the human race
Love it! this is exactly what we need more of from people. If we would just slow down and realize that we are all in this together. We all need a little help some time. If everyone would just be willing to take the time to help others when they can this world would be a better place!!!
What I love most about this post was, this part. "I saw this guy get out and help these two kids."
Not, "I saw this black man helping these two white kids." It was about the kindness this man showed in general not about the kindness a black man showed to two white children.❤❤
I know that acts like this occur many many times a day all across our great country. Wouldn’t it be great if our media would report just a small sample of these acts of kindness/humanity instead of only negative BS all of the time?
And I so love that those 2 little boys didn’t see distrust or fear from a that large “black” man. Obviously their parents haven’t taught them racism and skepticism. Oh what a better world this would be if all parents could/would teach their kids this, then they would grow up to be this amazing man and we could stop identifying each other by color.
