So I was at the grocery store and wanted to pay cash for some diapers and baby food. I counted my money and realized I didn't have quite enough. SO I told the cashier I needed to dig out my credit card. As I was digging, the guy in line behind me said, "I ain't got no kids and I ain't never bought no kids nothin. Just add this order to my bill." Just like that the guy paid for my stuff. I remonstrated and tried to dissuade him, but he was unmovable. I finally was so embarrassed I just gave in. The weird thing was, he looked a LOT like Cory's grandpa. I've had a few things like that happen to me before but I never know how to respond... other than profusely saying thank you.So I was at the grocery store and wanted to pay cash for some diapers and baby food.

Last year, someone paid my fine at the library. Another time I went to buy a coffee and she told me the lady before me had paid for whoever came next, so I got free coffee. Yesterday a guy gave Carter and Kendra each a gold dollar, and said "merry Christmas." Complete strangers. It's awkward, but at the same time...it's good to know people do random acts of kindness. Makes me think I should do that kind of thing more often.
Wow. That is so neat to hear. Thanks for sharing! I think God enjoys doing little things like that to remind us He is real and He is good.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna.. did the same thing happen twice? Either way, it is a great story.
