Last week I had breakfast with a friend. I picked up the bill of $13. She left the tip, a cash tip. I went to the cashier to pay with a credit card. I wanted to leave a tip too, but for some reason no tips were allowed on credit cards. So I finished at the cashier and walked back in to hand our server $3. She had just picked up my friend's tip of $5.
The server was so pleased! $13 bill, $8 tip. I was so pleased to see her joy.
This reminded me of a story. [I know that this is not exactly right but you will get the idea.] I have a friend who eats once per month with 5 girl friends. They pick a restaurant and each of them pays for their own meal. They also have $20 each for the tip. So, once a month, a server at some random restaurant gets a $120 tip! I have heard many stories about how this has brought the servers to tears.
I love stories of generosity. I think it is great when we can bless others.
I share this story with you because it is likely that there is money in my pocket and your pocket that might be better used to bless someone else.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
