Yogurt Shop Angel

--by kinderheart, posted Mar 18, 2013

I was stopped at the traffic light and a homeless man was pacing up and down along the divider. It was a scorching hot day.

'This will make him smile,' I thought, and I turned my car towards a frozen yogurt shop. I grabbed a cup and filled it with couple of flavors and came to the counter to weigh it.

I wanted to add some toppings but my change was not enough for that, so I asked the lady if she would take a $100 bill.

She said she wasn't allowed to accept a bill that large. Alright, I thought and paid for the yogurt.

As I was about to leave, she said, “Ma'am, don’t disappoint your child. Please add their favorite topping.”

I turned to her and said, “Thanks for your offer but this is not for my child. It's for the homeless man across the street.”

She smiled with surprise and said, “Oh! That’s really sweet of you. God bless you.”

She thought for a moment, then said, “I think we can do better than that.”

She took a bigger cup, filled it nicely and covered it with colorful toppings. Then she handed it to me and said, “This is from me. Please give it to the homeless man. Let’s treat him nicely.”

Now it was my turn to be surprised. I said, "Thanks," and left with a big smile on my face.

Angels are real, aren't they ? 'Cause I saw one today!
