Back
in the 1980’s Sam Rayburn - Speaker for the House of
Representatives - learned that one of his friends had just lost his
teenage daughter.
Early the next morning Rayburn knocked on his door
and said, “I just came by to see what I could do to help.”
The
father replied that there was nothing to do. “Well,” Rayburn
said, “have you had your coffee this morning?”
The man replied
that they had not taken time for breakfast. So Rayburn went to work
in the kitchen. While he working on making breakfast, his friend came
in, and said, “Mr. Speaker, I thought you were supposed to be
having breakfast at the White House this morning.” “Well, I was,
but I called the President and told him I had a friend who was in
trouble and I couldn’t come.”
This
is great example of true friend is all about. He is willing to
rearrange his schedule no matter how important it might be to help a
friend out that is need.
