    Default It can happen to you


    My son in Jax, Fla bought my wife and I our Christmas dinner from Cracker Barrel. So I went there early this morning to pick it up and decided since I was there I would have breakfast. I also ordered one to go to take home to my wife. Anyway when the waiter brought me my ticket I looked at it and there was just one meal on it. So I told him he missed one and he said someone had paid for mine. I looked around and didn't see anyone I knew so I was flabbergasted. I've heard of things like that happening but never to me. I guess its time to pay it forward and I will.

    My wife and I experienced it recently as well when an unknown person paid for our meal at a Chinese place we frequent. We take care of folks bills a lot, provide feee firewood for those in need and provide meals my wife prepares to the elderly. Never expected to have our bill paid but it was a welcome blessing. Thanks for sharing this Bill.

    Just when you get to accept the fact that people are uncaring and selfish someone proves you wrong. God is alive and well and so are this people. Great blessing and a great story, thanks.

    A couple of weeks back Linda and I ate at a Hibachi grill. We were seated with 2 other couples with there 3 children. Linda was seated next to one of the women and did a little chit chatting while we ate. when we were finished and the waitress brought the bill she only gave one to the couple we were seated with. As she came around and passed by us, I asked for ours. She pointed to the women and said she has already paid yours. WoW, what a shock, that wasn't a cheap meal. We thanked them greatly and promised to do the same and pay it forward. That came as a shock and big surprise to us. There still are some kind and generous people in this world.

    Billbob won't admit it, but he does this all the time. It took me a while, but I've caught him speaking to the waitress on his way to or from the bathroom. He sees a veteran, usually wearing a hat which indicates such, and he'll pay for their meal in secret. He's s sneaky guy, and he respects fellow veterans.

    Our God works in mysterious ways. He will often use you to accomplish His Will, His Purpose and His Plan. There is a song that we sing at church. Let me share the chorus...

    To God be the glory
    To God be the glory
    To God be the glory
    For the things He has done

    With His blood, He has saved me
    With His power, He has raised me
    To God be the glory
    For the things He has done

    May God be with you. Keep CALM and STAY ANCHORED with your faith.
