<p><a href="http://jenaisleonline.com">Jena</a> became a beautiful and intelligent young lady who graduated Cum Laude in college. Her family brought her to a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.</p>
<p>When they were about to pay the bill, an old man approached them.</p>
<p><span id="more-57"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;I thought I’d never see you again,&#8221; he said. This brought puzzlement on Jena and her parent&#8217;s faces. He showed her a bag with her name and picture.</p>
<p>&#8220;I remember you!&#8221; she surprisingly said.</p>
<p>&#8220;And I &#8211; you,&#8221; the man replied.</p>
<p>&#8220;I gave you that bag when I was just three one Sunday morning,&#8221; Jena fondly recalled.</p>
<p>“The wheel of compassionate time turned and I emerged from my former state, thanks to you. It’s my turn to repay the favor. You found me when I was homeless and your actions gave me hope. Here I am now, the owner of this restaurant.”</p>
