Random acts of kindness

"Black fingernails, red wine,

I want to make you all mine ..."

Eskimo Joe, 'Black Fingernails, Red Wine', 2006

So I went for a walk yesterday (hence the song - try doing some exercise to it sometime, it's perfect!), thinking once again about what I could write next in my blog, and it started raining. This brought back a memory from university when my boyfriend (now husband) and I were walking back to my flat when suddenly there was a storm above us. We ran to a service station, where this guy getting petrol - a total stranger - saw us dripping wet and asked if he could give us a lift home. We jumped in his car whilst he paid - he had a $20 note just sitting there, and he obviously trusted us not to do anything with it. I don't remember too much else about the trip, other than he drove us home and we weren't so wet anymore.

I wonder if this guy was a Christian? Or was this just a moment of kindness or morality in a normal life? In some respects I don't mind, I'd just like to imitate his behaviour - but I really hope he has been saved too.
