An Example of Kindness

While at Myrtle Beach on Saturday night, I had bought a phone card for 60 minutes. I didn’t really use it much because the people I called didn’t answer the phone. Today, I read an entry about [Designedheart]’s situation. Here is an excerpt from her entry:

Anywayz, I cant talk to mikey for 2 days because we both dont have enough money to buy a phone card. We are both broke and he wont get paid till friday so here i am

Big Joe says:

hey i have a question

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

ask away

Big Joe says:

why don’t you use my phone card minutes?

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

your phone card?

Big Joe says:

yeah, i have like 30 minutes on it

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

oh no i could never use your minutes like that

Big Joe says:

Anywayz, I cant talk to mikey for 2 days because we both dont have enough money to buy a phone card. We are both broke and he wont get paid till friday so here i am

Big Joe says:

and I think you should use my minutes to call your man

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

thats way too nice of you

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

he isnt back from work yet though

Big Joe says:

AT&T #. press 1 for English then put in the card number: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx and then press 1 to call within the U.S. and then dial his number

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

thank you so much

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

i have no idea how to repay you

Big Joe says:

eh you don’t have to

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

oh no i do

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

this is so great

Big Joe says:

no, i didn’t expect repayment

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

i know but this more than i ever could ask for

Big Joe says:

yeah, you needed it more than I did

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

but……….you could use those minutes too though

Big Joe says:

nah, it’s more important for you to do it

~*Jocelyn*~ says:

awww thank you so much

Big Joe says:

yw

It’s a shame that not many people are selfless in their acts and choose to help their fellow human beings.

Definitely a big hearted thing to do Joe. *hug* :0) Maybe we’d do more selfless acts, if there weren’t the risk of being taken advantage of. :0)
