(Although, being looked upon strangely is something I am so used to!!!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So, after picking up the boys from school, I stopped by the gas station (yah, the property I have my eyes on), took a breath, as I ventured into the -14 degree Celicus weather! \u00a0Brrrr. \u00a0My older boys weren&#8217;t with me, or I would have sent them out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Beside me was a beater, similar to the ones I had many a year. \u00a0Both the driver and passenger were on their knees, doors open, looking for any change they could find. \u00a0These were young laddies, I&#8217;d say early 20s, obviously on their way home from work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;Do you need money for gas?&#8221; \u00a0I asked the guys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;We&#8217;re OK&#8230; &#8221; replied the driver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In his hand he had $5 and the passenger lifted his head out of the car and yelled he found another 11 cents. \u00a0The price of gas right now in my town is $1.07 a liter. \u00a0$5 may get them around the corner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;My treat, &#8221; I said, &#8220;10 bucks more on me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">They didn&#8217;t believe me. \u00a0I told them I was serious. \u00a0I said, &#8220;Merry Christmas!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The passenger said, &#8220;Anytime you want to make out, call me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This proposition really did fluster me. \u00a0Shoot, just for the offer I really should have filled up their car! \u00a0(I really should have but they looked so uncomfortable accepting $10&#8230; plus, I can only image sex being offered for a fill up!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The driver was a little more cool and expressed his gratitude, saying that this would get him to work and back tomorrow and then he would be good. \u00a0I assume Friday must be payday. \u00a0He said, &#8220;I hope I see you here again, so I can fill up your vehicle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sweet, eh? \u00a0They tooted their horn in gratitude. \u00a0I hope that someday, when they are grown up, or have an extra buck kicking around that they will pass it on. \u00a0Pay it forward!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Remember last year, I wrote about my beggars, Abby and Joe&#8230; and the $100 gift card? \u00a0I still see them and realize this is their career. \u00a0I still don&#8217;t feel bad doing it. \u00a0My kids learned a great lesson. \u00a0I felt all warm and fuzzy. \u00a0And&#8230; hopefully if Abby and Joe really did have 5 kids, they got a turkey dinner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I know many of you do this all the time. \u00a0I love stories like this. \u00a0So, here&#8217;s my challenge, take a moment and share your act of \u00a0kindness especially over this season of giving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Merry Christmas Boys from the gas station!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">As a parent, I am sure we all hope that if our kids were ever without, that someone would be their angel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Beside, while I am sure I no doubt made their day, they also made mine!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>&#8230; \u00a0HEY! \u00a0DON&#8217;T FORGET ABOUT MY CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU&#8230; <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/?p=1083\">CLICK HERE TO READ ABOUT IT!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, while pumping gas, I was offered to make out \u00a0with the guy in the vehicle next to me!
