Random acts of kindness
Today I headed out into the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season to run a few errands. I decided to start my trip with a grande' peppermint mocha frappuccino from Starbucks, it is my weakness around the holidays. Any who, I did a quick trip through the drive~thru so I didn't have to unload my kiddos. I order my drink and packet of cookies, pull up to the pay window. Reach my arm out the window, money in hand and the woman says "Its no charge, the car in front of you already paid for your order." Oh my goodness!! I was so shocked and excited I wanted to cry. Something like that has never happened to me. It was nothing major, just a $6 bill, but just the thought made my whole day! It was nice to be reminded that there are some kind people left in the world, especially at Christmas time. I'm determined to pass on the favor next time I'm in a drive~thru. Its one of those things that gives you a pemanent smile for the day just wanted to share.

Also once...i had just opened a bank account. I had deposited all my money then all if a sudden they froze me account! Me n my bf was out to eat at a pretty expensive restaraunt & I tryed to pay & my card didnt go through! I stepped outside & called the bank. Well since it was a Saturday night they said they couldnt do anything for me until the banks opened back up on Monday! I was so upset..i was fussing at the lady on the phone and crying like crazy because I didnt know what I was gonna do. There was a guy outside in his truck listening to my whole convo. He got out of his truck & told me not to worry about it. He went in & paid for it & left. I didnt even get a chance to say thank you!
Idk if you are religious but when things like this happen..it reminds me of how good God is!
@Mimii36 Your stories are great. There's so many sickening stories about the bad that people do. Its refreshing to hear some good for a change. I am religous and as soon as the woman told me the order was paid for it instantly popped into my head that maybe that was Gods way of reminding me what Christmas is about.
@myHEARTZx3 @sophiasmom11 Oh my!! Could you imagine being on the receiving end of that?? I wish we had the money to do something like that!
@littlenat86 Lol, we do indeed have several drive thru starbucks. I love it and hate it. It makes it way too easy to consume a large amount of calories in liquid form. If it weren't for the drive thru I would never go. Too much hastle with the little ones.
@tinka1326 I think helping people out however you can is a huge gesture. It sets a wonderful example for your kids. A little kindness and compassion for others makes life that much better.
why would Starbucks put a stop to it?
