Years ago, we lived in an isolated village and needed a car to get anywhere. Unfortunately, on a very icy morning, we had a head-on collision as we were on our way to church where my then husband was a student deacon. Our little car was a write off and we had no money to replace it. One family in our church included a disabled dad. The week after the accident he was in touch and said he had just had his car updated and wanted to give us his old one. The generosity astounded us, the family was by no means well off and we couldn't offer anything in return. But the dad said it didn't matter - just to remember it at another time if we were in a place to help someone. A couple of years later, we had moved and H was in his first year as a curate. We needed a bigger car as we had baby number 4 on the way. We sold the old car and H sent a cheque to the man for the entire price - a few hundred pounds. We got a letter back from our friends saying their washing machine had just broken and they had no way of replacing it. Then the cq arrived out of the blue. .
