Give a Blessing

This is a thought I try to instill in my children. Yesterday at Walmart there was an elderly lady who had just checked out and stood there trying to figure out what to do with her now empty cart. Gage walked over to her and told the lady he would take care of it. She smiled and went on her way.

Then on the way to our car Levi stopped to help an elderly man with his cart. The man had a few bags left so Levi just stood next to him and waited. Levi then told him that he would love to take care of the cart. The man gave him the cart and then said "I would love to give you a little something, son". With that, he shoved his hand in his pocket and pulled out two shiny quarters. Levi returned the cart and skipped the rest of the way to our car.

Isn't it funny that when we try to bless someone, we get blessed in return!
