After church this Sunday morning, my daughter and I went to a local restaurant for late breakfast.. An older woman was seated next to us at an adjoining booth.
What drew my attention is that when she came in and seated herself , she walked straight toward us with a smile, as though she was going to sit with us and knew us, but then turned to her table and took a seat by herself. I thought to myself that I should have invited her to sit with us.
When we were done with our food, my daughter and I left our booth (the woman was still seated at her table) and whispered to the waitress to put the woman's breakfast on our tab.
The waitress seemed surprised at what I was doing for a stranger. So I told her of a card I had received the previous day from a complete stranger, and because of that simple act of kindness, which made my day, I wanted to pay it forward.
I simply asked the waitress to tell the woman that we wished her a merry Christmas and to "pay it forward" :)
