Four items, pay it forward

Four items

I just had my faith in humanity restored, if for just a little while.
I have a lot on my mind with my wife's upcoming surgery and my dad's fight with pancreatic cancer. Needless to say I have a lot on my mind.

I stopped at the grocery store to pick up just a few ingredients to cook dinner with.
I went to the express lane because I only had four items.
A lady and her daughter were in front of me. I was staring off into space and I heard the lady say, "put his on my bill."
I guess I looked at her like she had three heads and tried to tell her she didn't need to do that
The lady replied, "We are doing a random act of kindness. We are paying it forward. Some one did it for us now we are doing it for you."
I just about broke down there and manged to say thank you to her and her daughter. I told them about Suzanne's surgery and dad's cancer and tried to tell her how much this meant. However my mouth and tongue did not want to work and my eyes got a little watery.

It was such a humbling experience for a total stranger to do that. It was not the dollar amount because the four items were less than $10.00. It was just the fact that she did it.

It was such a simple thing for her to do but it touched me today in an unique way.
I need to look around and realize there are so many little random acts of kindness I could and should do everyday.

Pay it forward, you will never know how much it touches the person you reach out to.

Give more than you get,

You will get more than you need,

This works with the good and bad you do.
