What you do for someone today…
you may need for yourself tomorrow!
The man walked about a quarter of a mile on the country road to get to Ray Wynne’s house south of Cannon Falls. He was walking because he had closed up the Oxford Sportsmen’s Club and had accidentally locked his car keys inside!
After a chuckle or two, Ray gave him a ride to his home on the north side of Cannon Falls to retrieve his keys. And then brought him back to the club to get his car.
This was a nice thing for Ray to do.
But little did he know that the very next day a similar situation would come upon him!
Guess what happened?
Ray was filling up his car at a local gas station.
No employees were working there at the time. Ray was using his credit card and proceeded to move to the pump.
Now you should know that Ray is in his 80's and has two artificial legs. And for some reason - he doesn’t know why - he hung onto the car to get to the pump.
He had shut his car door but then he accidentally bumped the handle and heard it lock.
The keys were inside.
Now he was locked out!
To make things more difficult…
To make it even more frustrating, Ray had left his two canes in his car. He feels much safer walking when using his canes.
But also at that time, a stranger was filling up at a nearby pump. He came over to help.
They figured out a plan.
The stranger gave Ray a ride to the store where Ray’s wife was getting groceries because she had another set of car keys.
And he helped Ray walk inside to find her.
And the store had an extra two canes that could help Ray walk!
And the result was…
Then the stranger gave Ray a ride back to his car.
Ray doesn’t know the fellow. He does know that he recently retired from Gemini.
But Ray does know that there are some really helpful folks around here.
And now we do too.
