Over the past year or so I've seen several Facebook posts about someone in the drive thru paying for their meal, or someone at Starbucks paying for their coffee. A pay it forward type deal if you will. Have you ever randomly paid for someone's meal or drink? If so, why? I think it's neat.
I've done it quite a few times at Starbuck's...and one time even bought the drinks for Russian sailors at their first port-of-call in Hawaii after the fall of the Soviet Union. And then there's giving Thanksgiving dinner to a shut-in old man who lived nearby. And then there's the vegetables from our garden that we gave away every year, and the fruits from our trees that we give away now.
I only list those because you asked - otherwise I wouldn't think about it, because the best things in life come not from what one gets, but from what one gives.
