I had been a long day, the holidays had taken it’s toll on me, the cashier, the bagger, and the lady behind me was shuffling with her items as she coughed and sneazed…so to pick myself up, I asked the checker to pay for the soda that the lady had put on the counter. When we got outside, she asked me why did I do such a thing, and I told her that my day was crappy and I wanted to give out not up. She said that it was the nicest thing any stranger had ever done for her. I told her about this site, and I hope she finds it, and is inspired to do the same for someone else.

A few years back a friend of mine stopped on the edge of a mountain road in Montana to releive himself. When he looked down he saw a wallet and took it home with him. I was home from college during winter break and stopped by to visit my friend and saw the wallet in his trash. I ask him why he didn’t try to find the owner since it had a couple credit cards and an ID for someone in California. He said he did not want to be tempted by the credit cards so he cut them in half and threw them away. I then took the ID and called 411. I got a number, called it and left a message. A couple hours later when I got home the older gentleman called me back. He did not care about anything except a prescription card he had in there. He told me that he was on his way to Canada with his wife on vacation. When he got to the border he was turned around because he had no ID. That is when he realized it was missing. He drove back to CA because he had planned on getting his heart medication in Canada while he was there and was completely out. When he returned home he found out his Dr. was out of the state and it would be another couple weeks before he could get the refill. He didn’t know what to do until he heard my message because of the holidays. We talked for awhile about school and he told me to use the cash to send it back to him. I told him there was no cash in it. He was not surprised and I overnighted it to him anyway. A couple weeks later I received a card in the mail with a check for 500. I went back to my friend and told him about it so we could split the money and he told me that there was cash in the wallet and he took it because he was broke at the time and could not take any more from him. I then called the older gentleman back and explained what really happened and told him thanks but I was not going to take his money. He said thank you and that was it. In January I returned to college. When I went to pay my tuition it was already paid. The lady there could not give me any info except there was a credit on my account for more then just one semester. I called the man in california and ask him about it and he got a real kick out of it and said sorry, he was not going to let me pay him back!

God is good. Believe it. I lost some money a couple days ago and being out of work, I was pretty down. But today, someone turned my money in . I’m sorry I didn’t have faith that there are good and honest people in the world…I have proof that one of them is in Gastonia. Thank you, Lord.
Also, I lost my job when my plant closed and job searches have not panned out. Today, I went to the Honey Baked Ham store and a lady was “new at the register”. I told her that was just fine, take her time. I told her to change my order because I wanted something cheaper as I had lost my job, times were hard but to not worry about being fast at it and if she didn’t want to change it, that would be alright too. She said her sister had lost her job as well, and even the lady at the register had been “cut back” on hours at her job…Ask if they were hiring, she said no….So, I wished her well and as I started out the door, she called me back , wrote on a piece of paper,
angelfood.com
She said if you need food or help with groceries try here. I teared up and I wanted to hug her. She looked just like an angel. I felt Gods presence all around me at that moment and as I walked to my car I ask God again to forgive for not keeping faith.
Yesterday a lady at the Food Lion grocery store in Gastonia also lost money. 700 dollars in a bank envelope..from the check out to her car, it went missing…I pray to God someone turns her money in.
Keep the faith lady.

My Husband left his wallet at a Restaruant on our way home from camping. So we went back to the Rest stop that same night and there were a couple of ladies there that had found his wallet and were in the process of calling the WSP when we had shown up. There are not many like that out there now days. I hope that in return someone does something good for the both of you as you did for us. We were saved of a lot of headache in having to cancel everything out…We thank you two from the bottom of our hearts. May God Bless you!!!!!!!!!!

WOW…… I can’t even believe this…… I am so strapped for money…. I have to raise over 2500.00 in the next 4 wks, Yesterday at my job, thankful for having a job, I don’t really make a whole lot, I am basically pending my husband to be deported. So I will be raising my daughter on my sole income, which is 10.00 an hr. I am doing my best to reach my daily goal, to hit monthly and get my quarterly bonus…. and just yesterday, I won 65.00 for reaching certain expectations at my job….. my mother encouraged me to put all the monies in savings for the upcoming deportation I did but wanted to treat my Supervisor out for Star bucks …. And then the wildest thing….. Someone bought my coffee and Supervisors…. and I was able to keep the 10 for gas! I truly am believing that God really cares even for the small things…. Today is May 16, 2009 … please pray that I can as well….get blessed in my pending trial…. of journey

I haven’t been to Starbuck’s in ages since it just isn’t in my budget anymore, but this morning I decided to treat myself. When I drove up to pay for my order,the barrista told me that it had already been payed for by a man named “Bob” (he was in a dark green Jag @ approx 7:30 am). I was so supprised, and it really made my day. I gave the $5.00 that I was going to use to pay for my drink, to the barrista for a tip.

When I got online to write about this morning’s experience with In Line Behind Me, I saw a post from a Matt Sato describing my pickup truck to the “T”. It made my day! Thanks for writing, Matt! And thanks even more for passing it on!
And yes, there was a huge smile on my face as I drove away.

I drove up to the drive through window at “my Starbucks” at 312th and Dash Point Road and found out that the woman in front of me had already purchased my son’s orange-mango-banana vivano drink, and my brewed coffee. She was probably giggling to herself as she drove away from her good deed. But, I will figure out who she was by looking out for her big white pick-up truck with the US Army decals. Lady, somehow, some way, I will get a chance to be in front of you in line so I can give you a “back at ya!” If you read this-thank you! I passed it on by purchasing a frappacino for the car behind me.

A car arrived at the Starbucks drive thru at the same time I did. She waved me on as I was waving her on. She insisted I went first, which I did. I bought her beverage when I got up to the window.

I went to bingo a couple of weeks ago just for fun and to get out of the house for a little while. To make the long story short, I won!!! Anyway, i was sitting in a row for an hour that consisted of me and these two really nice older ladies. No one else came to sit with us and we were chatting back and forth the whole time about how we wished the lord would bless us today! Long and behold thats when I won! So, I snuck up to the counter and cashed in my ticket. I got a new number (we were playing the electronic bingo) and came back and put money in both the ladies machine while they weren’t looking. They looked up at me and I said “We have been learning in church how to love and to pay it forward”. Those ladies kept thanking me and thanking me, so i told them about the website and that they should check it out. It was a great feeling to give them that extra money so they could play a little longer than they would have! I left before them, so I hope they won something to help them out!
