Sweet Lady
Today I was at Maryland Fried Chicken and placed my order but had left my money in the car....I placed my order but realized I'd left my money in the car and let the lady waiting behind me go ahead...when I got back we were just making small talk...when the lady went to sit down to eat the cashier handed me my food and I said "I have not paid you yet." She said the lady had paid for it...I was stunned...like why? Did she think I did not have the money? I could not imagine any other reason and didn't quite know what to think....but I just walked over to her and said "that is the sweetest thing that somebody has done for me in a long time" or something like that and I said "God Bless You." She stood up and we hugged and I said something like I'm going to pass this on to someone else or something like that;....I still don't know why she did it and I don't really care I just accept the gift with grace and humility and I think about it when I need to summon my better angels...her name was Lillian.
