Story of a boy

Sitting outside far away fro any air conditioning, this boy plainly was sweating profusely from the heat outside. The temperature had reached close to 90 and there seemed to be no break in site. 

This boy could only be not older then 6 or 7 and the fact that he was sitting there alone was a red flag for me. I was riding along this day with one of our technicians observing how he was presenting out new air quality product. Sitting in the van while our technician went into a home to pick up a tool he had left the day before, I closely watched this boy. After about 10 minutes I finally called to him to come over to our vehicle. He was pleasant enough and very respectful. I asked him why he was by himself sitting in the middle of what seemed the hottest part of his yard and just sitting there. What he said to me was sweet and heart breaking at the same time. He said that he was outside so his mom and baby sister could try to be cool inside their house where it was pretty hot. He said he was hopping that without one more person inside they could be more comfortable. Here was this little boy being so grown up and being so unselfish.  He said that they live in a home that only has a fan and that their air conditioner hadn't worked for a very long time. We happened to be in the right place at the right time and were able to help that family that day. We just knew that Gid placed us in that spot at that time for all the right reasons.   The next time you are placed in a circumstance that you are able to show neighborly love, do it. Reach out and make a difference. Not to get anything in return. It will bless you as this did us.
