Since I am alone a lot, I eat at local restaurants from time to time. If there is a server that I like, I might give them $5 as they walk by, even if they are not my server. They ask me "why?" I tell them that I am sure that someone shorted them today and so I am just making up for that.
One server flat out told me "no" the other day and I said to them, "oh, please don't rob me of the chance to be nice to you. If you prefer, take it and give it to someone else." They took the money.
Sometimes folks are so surprised by kindness that they don't know what to do. Next time you do a random act of kindness and are resisted by the intended recipient, just tell them that it makes you happy to be nice, please don't rob me of the chance to be kind to you.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
