David Edgren Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 A couple of months ago, while reversing out of a tight carpark, I backed into a car. The rubber of my turned tyre rubbed his mag wheel. He took photos. Got quotes. The first was over $300 to remove a smudge! Finally, after weeks, I paid $165 to remove the smudge from his wheel.Just a few minutes ago, I got to remove the smudge from my conscience. In the same carpark, coming around the same bend, I was backed into by a lady in a small car as she reversed out. I saw her coming and came to a stop before she t-boned her boot into my side door. It happened fast, but slow (you know what I mean!)We both stopped. She was as shocked as I had been two months ago when I backed into a car that wasn't there moments before. "I am sooo sorry!" she nearly cried as we emerged from our cars to survey the damage. I looked at the smudge on the driver door. I looked into her eyes and remembered the way I had hoped a member of my neighbourhood would have treated me not so long ago. And I was overwhelmed with compassion."I've got three teenagers learning to drive," I said. "I'm expecting more just like this one! Don't worry about it."The lady's face changed from dread to disbelief. "REALLY?!""Yup," I said, "Forget about it!""Oh my," she said crossing her hands over her heart, "You're a dear!"How good does it feel to "Pay the GOLDEN RULE forward?"Do unto others what you WISH would happen to you!View the full article Quote Adventures in the Bible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
