How to hook up in Springfield?
In this season of love. You know, it's easy to see other people who have relationships and compare that to your own situation or compare the relationship you do have to other relationships. And one thing that I know for sure is that as you want to expand the love in your life or deepen the relationship you currently have.
There's a couple of proven ways to do that. And today I want to share with you a story that deeply impacted me and the story centers on a theme, a theme that when you take this to heart, it can deepen not only your experience of love in your life, but experience of love in the relationship that you have. And that theme is kindness. It's often overlooked. It's often underestimated the power of kindness, and yet kindness can literally create a moment in time in a relationship where someone will remember that forever. And that's exactly what happened for this gentlemen. His name is Charles swindle. He's a Reverend and many years ago he drove taxi and he writes about a particular experience that he had. And I invite you to hear this story and bring it into your own heart and think about how this story could relate to you. During this season of love. Here it goes. 20 years ago, I drove cab for a living. I arrived at two 30 in the morning. The building was dark except for a single light on the ground floor. Under these circumstances, a cab driver would just honk. Once or twice, wait a minute and then drive away. But I'd seen too many impoverished people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. So I wouldn't drive away unless the situation smelled of danger. I always went to the door. So I walked to the door and not just a moment, answer the frail elderly voice after a long pause, the door opened.

A small woman in her eighties stood before me, by her side was a small nylon suitcase. Would you carry this bag out to the car? For me, she asked. So I took the suitcase out and returned to assist the woman. She took my arm and walked slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for me, kindness. Uh, it's nothing. I told her. I just treat all my passengers the way I would want my mother treated. When we got to the cab, she gave me an address and she said, Oh, by the way, could you drive through downtown? It's not the shortest way I told her, I don't mind. She said, I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to hospice. I looked in my rear view mirror and her eyes were glistening. I don't have any family left. She said almost to herself. The doctor said I don't have very long. I quietly reached over and shut off the meter route. Would you like me to take? I asked her for the next two hours, we drove all the way and the city, she showed me the building where she had ones worked. As an elevator operator, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had left when they were newlyweds.

She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a particular building or corner and she would sit staring into the darkness and nothing as the first hint of light was creasing the horizon. She suddenly said, okay, I'm ready. Let's go. Now we drove in silence to the address you had given me. It was a low building. Two orderlies came out to the cab. As soon as we pulled up, they were solicitors and intent watching her every move. They were expecting her. I opened the trunk and took out the small suitcase and carried it to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair. How much do I owe you? She asked, no, you don't owe me anything. I said, Oh, you have to make a living. She answered. Well, there are other passengers. I responded almost without thinking I bent over and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. You gave an old woman a little bit of joy. Thank you. She said I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning, light behind me a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly lost in thought for the rest of the day. I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten into that cab with an angry driver that morning or one who is impatient?

What if I had refused to take the ride or it honked once and drove away on a quick review? I don't think I have done anything more important in my life. I hope that story touched you the way it touches me. And what I love about that story of kindness is that it embodies a quality of kindness that can be so powerful for people. And that is patients. This taxi driver had patience for her and understanding for what she wanted that day. And he was willing to give that gift of patients to her, to drive her around, to see these sites. And so in relationships, it's so easy to have grudges and hold resentments. And to be impatient with each other, impatient over breakfast, impatient when someone's a little bit late and we're trying to get in the car and go impatience in response, turning to a text message. So I challenge you this week to turn out the patients, because that is an expression of kindness for the relationships that you have love and watch your own life blossom as a result.
