Honest confessions and lessons from a fellow follower of Christ, taking deeper steps into relationship with Him and continually growing in the wisdom of the depths of His love.
A couple years ago I worked a second job as a server at a restaurant. There was once this one man who was in town for business and came to eat dinner by himself. Before he left, he gave me his credit card and told me to use it to pay for the dinner of an older couple celebrating their anniversary a few tables away. After doing what he told me to, I handed him his receipts as he told me why he did that. Years and years ago he was sitting in a booth at some bar (yes, apparently there can be nice people in bars) with his wife eating dinner when they were told that their meal had been paid for. He asked the server who had paid for their meal and the server pointed over to the far corner of the bar and there sat a very big, burly, biker guy in all his leathers and tattoos. The server said that this man encouraged them to “pay it forward.” Ever since then, this business man that I was serving has gone from city to city on business trips and everywhere he goes he keeps his eyes open for someone who sticks out to him and he pays it forward. This man has been doing this for years! Think of all the people that this has impacted and they could possibly have taken the concept and begun doing the same thing! All started by someone seemingly least likely to pay it forward.
Maybe this gets your mind going about what you could do to pay it forward to someone!! It all has to start somewhere, right? Why not with you? A kind act that you do for someone, giving of yourself for their benefit and encouraging them to go do the same for someone else, could have a ripple effect for years! Thinking of it like that – a ripple effect – makes me think about there being a lot of world to cover and your one stone-throw act of kindness that plunks into your part of the world can have a lasting growing effect on people all over the world! Just think of the possibilities!! They are literally endless! I encourage you to not put this aside and think “I’ll do something tomorrow.” Go out of your way today and begin paying it forward! Need a reason why?
