After Reading "my Lost Tackle Box" Post A Guy Named Kenny( I Am Sure Many On This Board Know Who He Is) Sent Me A Pm With An Offer Of Some Tackle. He Said He Had Some Extra Tackle And Things He Was Not Using And Offered It To Me Because I Had Left Everything At The Carwash. Needless To Say I Was In Awe Of His Generosity And Quickly Took Him Up On His Offer. After A Couple Of Pms He Offered To Drop The Extra Tackle Off At My House Because He Was Going To Houston. I Told Him I Might Not Be Home Due To Taking My 16 Year Old To Softball Practice. He Said No Problem He Would Just Leave It At My House. Now This Amazed Me. I Wanted To Thank Him In Person Of Course But As The Time Approached I Had To Leave To Take Said Daughter To Practice. Well My Wife Called And Said He Had Come By With A Ton Yes I Said Ton Of Stuff. Well When I Got Home From Practice I Was Shocked At The Amount Of Stuff Kenny Had Left For Me. I Mean My Goodness, So Much Stuff From A Guy I Didn't Even Know. I Can't Give An Enventory Here But If I Came Home From Academy With That Much Stuff My Wife Would Think I Had Taken Out A Loan. What A Great Guy And Such A Generous Offer. I Am Just Taken Back By Such An Act Of Kindness. Kenny Has Restored My Faith In Mankind. I Will Never Be Able To Repay Kenny For His Kindness. I Only Hope That I Someday Will Be Able To Offer My Help To Someone In Need. I Am Absolutely Certain Kenny Is A God Fearing Man, And Hopefully One Day Soon I Can Thank Him In Person. Until That Day Though Let Me Close By Saying, In This Age Of Turmoil And Strife You Are The Kind Of Man That Gives Us All Hope.

jacku,
Thank you for relating Kenny's kindness to you after you lost your tackle box.
I'm fond of saying that God can give you more by accident than you ever could get for yourself on purpose. I think this was one of those times! Blessings to you.

Generosity
Just remember...what goes around comes around.
Once, many years ago, my wife and family was dining out after church at the local nearby restaurant, and we noticed a gentleman eating by himself in a near booth. After we ordered and ate, I asked for the check. The waitress said that my lunch had already been paid. I was astonished! The waitress told us that the gentleman in the booth had paid for our lunch. Astounding...we have no idea who it was or why...we could only surmise that he was lonley for his own family and just decided to be the good samaritan. And the total cost couldn't have been $20 for all of us.
Needless to say, I have had the opportunity and pleasure of doing the same, many times, for others...some were obviously in need, others were very capable of paying their own ticket. I feel blessed to be able to do this and only when it is impossible for the recepients to offer thanks. I did it just because...
So remember, what goes around comes around; you will get your chance many times over.
