Buddies

I think they were buddies,then something went terribly wrong. Or they struck up a friendship somehow.In any event,this day lives in my memory today. It was at a baseball game in Pittsburgh a few years ago.2 guys,both in their late 20's I would say,were in front of us, one healthy, one in a wheelchair.The guy in the wheelchair was either severely brain damaged(maybe from an accident?),or had severe cerebral palsy. But boy,he loved his baseball! It was in the high 90's that day,and humid. This guy's buddy had one of those little portable fans. He fanned his friend ,wiped his brow, gave him water through a straw, all the while while they hung out together and watched some ball. It was the greatest act of human kindness that I have ever seen, and haven't seen since. THAT'S how I'm supposed to love! THAT"S how I'm supposed to treat my fellow man. Lord, please help me to be somewhere near that love, and to realize that acts of love towards others may touch lives unknown to us, as this one has done for me.
