Way To Go Will...Who Clears My Snow
The great, gargantuan, gregarious, Greg and Dan radio show, beloved by Central Illinois folks, has a segment called, "Way To Go Todd", that celebrates the kind deed perpetrated by Todd Walker. (Link to his story below)
Greg and Dan find stories of people who perform kind and loving deeds to others, and share these heartwarming stories with their devoted listeners.
By the way...here is the link to the Todd Walker story...

Now, let's return to MY story, that could be a good subject for Way To Go Todd, but we'll call it Way To Go Will.
Will and his family moved in across the street from us before last winter.
Will is the Pastor of the Pekin Lighthouse Church here in Pekin, Illinois. Here is another link for ya...https://pekinlighthouse.org/
Anyway, beginning last winter, I would wake up, dreading the experience of shoveling X amounts of snow, but magically and mysteriously, my snow would be ALREADY cleared! My driveway and sidewalks were completely snow free!
Well, after a while, I got up real early and waited, like a kiddo would wake up early to view Santa, to see what kind soul was shoveling my snow.
It was WILL! I did not even know him very well, but he was giving his valuable time, strength, and time in a warm bed, to help and old codger like me!
Franki and Will
Representation of me..but not actually me.
He must have noticed me walking the dog, bent over with pain from my aching back, or me just looking ancient...I don't know, but what a wonderful, great thing to do!
He never took credit for doing it, but when I found out it was him, I thanked him profusely, and he was so humble about what he did, kind of like, "It wasn't much"...but it was a beautiful expression of Christian love to my wife and I!
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Heb. 6:10
Love it and Thank you very much Will !!!
ReplyDeleteI love you, baby! Thanks for reading and commenting so sweetly!
DeleteFirst off, BIG props to Greg and Dan (and you Danny) for reporting the good in people! This is what should lead the national news, not death and destruction! Anyway, I won't get on my soapbox. It's just refreshing to see!
ReplyDeleteSecond, what an extraordinary story, Danny! WOW! This really warmed my heart because, as you said - Will was LIVING the Christian faith; and it was so powerful to rad how he didn't take credit at all for his wonderful act of kindness! Now, I happen to believe that God blessed you with Will because YOU live your faith, as well, Danny!
Thank you for inspiring me to live more of my faith!
Greg and Dan are very loving, Christian guys, who do their best to create an atmosphere of love and generosity in the community. It makes me happy to know that you were inspired to live your faith more, by Will's example. When I was young and healthy, I tried to do my best in helping others to do things they could not do. I may not have been the brightest, but I was strong, and could push cars out of snow banks, help people move heavy furniture, and things that needed a strong back. Now, I feel very helpless, when it comes to physical things. Maybe God is blessing me for past kindnesses to others, even though he blesses us all anyway. Thanks, brother! God bless you and your family!!
