I have not done a Secret Service Saturday post for a while and it is LONG overdue!
Before I explain what this is I want to tell you what happened to us last week…I had two of my grandkids that I tend on a regular basis and my husband and I. We had gone to lunch at a restaurant and we were headed to a splash park for the kids to play and cool off a bit. We stopped at a gas station and I ran in to get a couple of drinks. There was a bit of a line and I was at the end of the line. When I got up to the counter to pay for my drinks, the lady standing next to me, told the clerk that she wanted to pay for her drink and for mine!!! I told her that she did not need to do that, but she insisted! I thanked her for her kindness and I went out to the car and told everyone how nice that lady was, immediately everyone started thinking of ways that we could pay it forward too! So even though it was a small act of kindness…it had a huge impact!!! I have no idea who that lady was but I hope she knows that she did a great deed that day and that it impacted several lives!
So today, or sometime this weekend, I would like to challenge you to do some form of secret service! It does not have to be anything big, it could be a helping hand, a smile, pay for a drink or someone’s lunch, a visit with someone shut-in, or just some kind of service where there is a need. Look around you and you will soon see something that you can do!
I hope that you will take this Secret Service Saturday challenge and make someone else happy. It will do YOUR heart good!
Thanks for Visiting…Have a great weekend!
Love the idea! It is always fun to do something nice for others and extra special when it happens to you. Changes your whole day!!!! Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea!! Thanks so much for telling your experience; and reminding us to always reach out to others!!
Late with my comment, but I like to pay it forward when I see service men/women in a fast food restaurant. I’ve learned the hard way that it’s best to thank them for their service, put the gift of money on the table as you turn to leave (their table, not necessarily the restaurant). A time or two it was refused, but once I learned to leave the vicinity of their table, my gift was accepted. God Bless them all :0)
Bev, Thank you so much for sharing your pay it forward! I love you idea and need to do that some time too. It is such a wonderful feeling when you can do any kind of pay it forward act, but the service men/women is especially wonderful! Hope you have a great day!
