I was taking a young friend to the movies one Saturday afternoon. As I got to the box office I couldn't find my wallet in my purse. I stepped out of line as I searched in vain. I told my young friend that we would have to return to my house to search there, when a gentleman approached and asked if he could buy our tickets for us so that we could attend. I told him thank you SO much, but no, I had to go and find my wallet. But he gently reminded me that then we would miss the show. So we gratefully accepted his generosity. He adamantly refused to tell me his last name or give me his address so that I could repay him. What kindness! (PS: I DID find my wallet after the movie on the floor of my car, thank the Lord!)
