79...... Check

79. Buy a meal for a stranger

I was not sure if anyone ever read this so it has been a while since I have posted on here. But as per Aunt Libba's request I thought I'd update yall on the list. Because it has been so long I don't remember the exact date, but I can cross number 79 off my list.

I was in the drive thru at Taco Casa and an elderly woman was behind be. Before I go to the window I said a little prayer that the woman would see Christ's love through a kind act of a stranger and hopefully pass on a favor to someone else. I was all ready to feel really fulfilled by what I did so I got up to the window I told the guy I would get the woman's behind me as well. Well it turned out she was getting food for her entire family! After he told me how much hers would be, I got control over my face, and decided i had gone to far to turn back.

As I drove away I did feel good (I'd like to think I felt good because I did a good deed, but i suspect it had a lot to do with being able to cross yet another thing off my list) and decided that even though I'd be eating cereal for the next two days, it was well worth it.
