It is "Pay It Forward Friday"!!! Absolutely one of my favorite days!!! I have to admit that I jumped the gun and committed my random act of kindness yesterday.
Yesterday I stopped at Subway Sandwiches for lunch. I went up to the counter and there was a guy in front of me...younger...
probably 22ish. He chose a sandwich that he was having toasted and
I'm thinking to myself, I ought to buy the next person who walks in and
gets in line behind me their lunch in honor of my friend Mechelle's
grandpa that passed away and whose birthday was yesterday. So, I send
up a prayer "God, please put someone in line behind me so I can pay it
forward...." Right then, the guy in front of me says, "lets trade
spots (his sandwich was still toasting, no reason for me to wait). I
laughed and thanked him, and thought "God, you've got a good sense of
humor...that wasn't what I was expecting...I was hoping for a senior
citizen, but this works to...obviously the guy is generous and kind to
give up his spot in line. I'm telling the gal the veggies I don't want on my sandwich,
and next thing I know when I look up, there is a little old lady...mid
80's (I'm guessing) in line behind my guy...... Well, I did request a
senior citizen. "Okay....you got me God....prayers answered"
When I got to the counter to pay I asked for TWO $10 gift cards. As I took my bag I handed one to the guy behind me and said "This is for you" and he thanked me. Then I went to the little old lady and I said "This is for you, it is a gift meant for you today" She had a look of shock, then a huge smile and a very grateful thank you .

I'd like to think I made there day just a little bit brighter!
