Chain of Love.🎲🎯🏈🏀



An elderly woman found herself stranded in the middle of the road with a flat tire. She waited for hours, hoping someone would stop to help. Finally, a young man pulled over and approached her with a warm smile.

"Hi, Ma'am! How can I help you? By the way, I'm Brian," he said kindly.

The old woman explained her situation, and without hesitation, Brian got to work. He invited her to sit inside the car so she wouldn’t get cold. She watched from the window as he worked tirelessly, even injuring his hand while changing the tire. Despite the pain, he didn’t stop until the job was done.

When he finished, the old woman rolled down her window and said, “How much do I owe you? Name your price.”

But Brian shook his head. “You don’t owe me anything, Ma’am. I’m just glad I could help.”

She insisted, “But why? I should pay you.”

He smiled and replied, “If you really want to repay me, just help someone in need when you get the chance. Think of me when you do. That’s all I ask.”

They went their separate ways.

Later that day, the old woman stopped at a small diner to eat. A pregnant waitress greeted her with a bright, sincere smile, despite looking exhausted. The old woman admired her for her warmth and strength, knowing how difficult it must be to work while carrying a child. She quietly decided to help her.

When the waitress returned with the bill, the old woman had already left. On the table, she found a napkin with a note and four one-hundred-dollar bills underneath. The note read:


“Don’t question why I’m helping you. Just help someone else who needs it, and think of me. Never let this chain of love end with you.”

The waitress was stunned. Tears welled in her eyes. She went home that night, still thinking about the old woman and the unexpected blessing.

She lay beside her husband and whispered, “Everything’s going to be okay. I love you, Brian.”

"Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.
Your good deeds will always find their way back to you."
