Paying it forward
Yes! Something good can happen to you! This week one day I was in the drive-by window at Chick Fil-A to get our lunch. Slowly I followed the other cars to the drive by line. With dollar bills in my hand to give the cashier, she says to me in a happy voice, “The lady in the white Ford Fusion in front of you just paid for your lunch! You don’t owe anything.”
Yes! There are great people who do good things and live in Columbus. Is this “Pay it Forward”?
We can all do special things for strangers. I did not know this lady and she did not know me! Thank you, thank you!
