Bless Someone. Try Saying, “I Got It!”

A few weeks ago my wife Susie shared about her spontaneous payment of a woman’s bill at her doctor’s office. The woman was distressed about being unable to pay her bill and Susie stepped up and covered it with our credit card.

Yesterday, Susie received this message from a friend who attends our church. Looks like this spontaneous generosity thing is catching on. Yea God.

Susie,

I just wanted to tell you that ever since I heard your story about helping the young pregnant lady at the OBGyn office, I’ve been open to seeing those opportunities in my life.  Today, I got to help someone.  At HEB, a man in front of me was asking how long they could suspend his transaction, or hold his groceries.  I asked if I could help, and he told me he forgot his card.  I told him, “don’t worry about it.  I got it”.  He was floored.  He was speechless.  I was tearing up.  It was awesome! I told him to just say thanks.  Then I told him, “God bless you” and he left.

One of the best things ever!

Thanks for always being an inspiration to me and so many others through your kindness and good works.

It’s very difficult to overstate the power of sheer, raw, love-motivated generous giving. Try it.
