Wow, good guys still exist!

Okay, before you go judging me by the title of this post, I am NOT a man-hater or anything like that. In today's society, it's sometimes hard to come across a genuinely good guy who is just doing something because it's the right thing to do. Today I have seen two examples of good guys who just did things because they wanted to, not because they had to do it.

First, I invited 3 ladies to lunch after church today. My church seems to be full of single gals who all seem to go home after church and do their own thing on a day for family stuff. So, today while I was on the platform during worship at church, I knew I was supposed to invite three friends to lunch. After church, I ran around trying to find them because I taught Sunday School and it's hard to catch people. In the end, the ladies accepted and we met at Pizza Hut. (I know, you're shocked!) So, while sitting at lunch talking with the gals, we noticed that there was a guy from my church sitting alone at a table. Kendra went over and invited him to eat with us, and he accepted. We had a great time laughing and joking with him. At the end, the check came, and he grabbed ours before we could grab it. I was blessed. I had never even talked to the guy before today. I knew who he was, but had never spoken to him before today, and he picked up the check for all four of us ladies! Is that cool or what? Just a guy doing the right thing. What a blessing.

My other story happened while I was sitting here at Panera. There was an elderly lady who had gotten up and was walking toward the door. She had a cane and was hunched over. A guy shot up out of his seat, ran around her, and held the doors open for her. He didn't even know her, he just did it. Just doing the right thing at the right moment. What a good guy.

It was a great reminder that people do random acts of kindness just because it's the right thing to do.

Cool, eh?

Later!
