Today, it's still bothering me. I went to the gas station to buy a coffee to enjoy at the boys' karate promotion. Anyone who has been to a karate promotion knows that sometimes it's important to have something to drink as they can last a while!
The cashier started to ring me up...and asked, "For her, too?" and nodded at the girl behind me in line. And, I said, "No."
Wish I had said yes. The girl had a small soda. I could have easily paid for it in a "pay it forward" kind of way. Didn't. Wish I had. Would have been an easy way to make the world a better place.
In a neighboring town, each holiday season, there's a coffee shop that has customers that start paying it forward around Thanksgiving. They pay for their drink and the person behind them in the line (or the drive-thru). I'd like to see this kind of generosity in our lives throughout the year.
Hopefully, next time I'm in line, I can find a way to pay it forward.
Let it begin with me.
