The Reward For Chesed!!!

Rabbi Pesach Krohn told the following story [or did he?? - you decide:-)]. 

George Floyd's maternal grandfather, DeWayne Wilson, lived in a Jewish neighborhood. He was known to all the Jews and even spoke some Yiddish. He was the most popular Shabbos Goy in town. No matter what time of day or night - he was ready to help out. 

One time, a lady in the neighborhood, the daughter of a Chasidishe Rebbe, went into labor in the middle of the night - FRIDAY NIGHT!! Her husband knocked on DeWayne's door, woke him up and asked if he would drive the two of them to the hospital. DeWayne grogilly got out of bed and said that he is too tired. The lady's husband said that his father in law is a holy rabbi with miraculous powers and if DeWayne drives them - the rabbi will give him a blessing.

DeWayne was a religious man and thus agreed to drive them. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy! The Rebbe met DeWayne later and blessed him that he would have a grandson who would CHANGE THE WORLD in the merit of his good deed.   

And so it was. George Floyd. 

And the child who was born became the CEO of a big company that employs a number of dark skinned potential Shabbos Goyim [whose lives matter!!!] as an expression of Hakaras Hatov for the good deed of DeWayne Wilson. George Floyd himself actually worked for him as a janitor for a short time. 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!
