In the Bible there’s the story of Jacob, who rolls away the stone from the well to water Rachel’s sheep. They get married.
Then there’s Moses. He rescues some shepherd girls when they are being harassed and provides water for their flocks. He marries one of them.
It’s just not a guy thing, either. Rebekah provides water for a stranger and his camels, showing herself to be the one for Isaac, son of the stranger’s master. They get married.
Sometimes performing simple acts of service result in some most amazing things.
[Genesis 29:10, Exodus 2:16-21, and Genesis 24:15-20]
