11/28/2019 CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — ‘Tis the season for all sorts of deliveries, but one Clearwater mail carrier dropped off something Wednesday that might still surprise you: an entire Thanksgiving feast to an unsuspecting family who otherwise couldn’t afford it.
Lee Mathis and his girlfriend Janet Wetherington now have lots of last-minute preps to cook their Thanksgiving feast, but they don’t mind a bit.
“I thought we were just going to have a normal day, have a sandwich or something,” Mathis said, referring to his Thanksgiving plans. “But now I’ve got something to look forward to!”
It started as a regular Wednesday morning. Wetherington went to bible study, and Mathis, who is disabled, was at home when the postal worker came to the door.
“When he stepped up at that door, and I opened it, it blew my mind,” Mathis recalled.
The mail carrier held a mail bin brimming with all the fixings for a full Thanksgiving feast, turkey included. It was much more than what the couple could afford on their own.
Easy to find by route assignment. But a dollar to donuts some a hole manager is looking to write up and discipline the carrier for usage of postal property ( the flat bucket) etc, .. I do recall a carrier who entered a building to alert residents of a fire and disciplined for leaving their route. It happens.. Lol
the bible says we’re to take care of the widows and orphan and the poor and needy. their all around us we just look around. you never no what someone is going through. like this postal worker went out of his way to bless this couple he new need a helping hand. we could all learn a lesson from him/ her.
Well God is wonderful I work for the postal service 25 yes and that’s what we do its a blessing to give back anytime
This is so heartwarming and what a wonderful way to show that there are good people, who care about others and make the world a better place.
This is a nice story, We are all known by how we value our fellow man. My personal
belief is that we are called to help others. I am very sadden for those who only see
others as the weak, who’s heart is moved to try, and change this world is the only
hope for a brighter day.
