"Give Forward"
« on: December 24, 2018, 02:08:39 AM »
Amusing incident when we were in our coffee village the other evening....having a coffee in Dinos and enjoying the Xmas lights with the locals.

The village has an over-the-road banner encouraging folks to "Give Forward".

As we were standing in line at the local grocers I overheard the fellow in front of us tell the cashier that he seemed to have misplaced his wallet. I stepped forward and explained that I would pay for his items.
The cashier smiled and accepted my $ as I remarked that I was just doing as the banner suggested.

A few minutes later, across the street, my wife laughed and told me that the same fellow had just popped out of another store carrying a big bottle of wine!

No scooters around....

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

So true. I believe we are blessed based on the fact that we helped based on pure motives. The con man will have to give account to the creator for HIS misdeeds. My mom says that she’d rather be the person taken advantage of than the person taking advantage of someone else because the person taking advantage of her is the evil person.
