Hearst Castle is a palatial(宫殿式) park on the central California coast and a National Historic Landmark. It was designed by architect Julia Morgan for William Randolph Hearst from 1919 until 1947. In 1957, the Hearst Corporation donated the fortune to the state of California. Since that time it has been maintained as a state historic park where the estate and its considerable collection of art and antiques are open for public tours. In spite of its location far from any urban center, the site attracts roughly one million visitors every year.

Last week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me? I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, OK, as long as I can follow you. He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.

As we came back to the convenience store, she said, This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didnt know I could do this. I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, Oh Daddy, Im going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too. Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today. I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.
