We got up very early this morning to help at the Homeschool Hangout garage sale. While I worked the sale, my kids and those of the other helpers set up lemonade stands. They actually had their own stands at the beginning and then realized they might do better by joining forces. So they put all their tables together in one area. I thought they handled it well, instead of competing with each other.
It was hot, and we were pretty tired by the time we got home. Scott has been out of town all week and was tired when he arrived, also. We decided to go out for dinner. We went to Macaroni Grill. It's a favorite, but we don't go there very often.
We had a nice dinner and the kids were very well behaved. At the end, Scott asked the waitress for the check and she informed us our bill had already been taken care of. What?? She said a lady at the booth next to our table paid it. Scott went over to talk to her. She was there with her teenage son. She said she had been watching us, and felt led to do that for us.
We were so amazed. We had each of the kids go thank her. We also talked about random acts of kindness that each of us can maybe do this week.

What a wonderful blessing to your family!!!!
thanks so much for sharing that story. I love it.
Way cool! Someting similar happened to my family (as in my parents and my siblings - so it was a LONG time ago ;-)) years ago at a Red Lobster - we still talk about it, so I'm sure it'll leave a long-time impression on your kids too. :-)
Oh my goodness! What a wonderful gift!
Isn't it cool when God orchestrates something like that!
That is a super blessing:)!
Sure that counts for a second entry:)
I'd love to have you join us weekly for Works of God Weekend.
