Just a story i wanted to share to help bring some Christmas cheer!

Well yesterday Mike and i had mutual right at six (we were going to see the lights on temple square and see the Joseph Smith movie) so on the way home i stopped at taco time to pick up some dinner so we could basically eat and run! Well the line it was taking FOREVER and there was already about 4 cars in front of me. Anyway this van just decided that they were going to pull up in the middle of the line and expect someone to let them in. Well of coarse the truck in front of me let them in and i was like WHAT??? That is totally lame. I was already running late and this line was taking forever, now there was a stupid van that just "butted."

So finally it's my turn to order and i am just frustrated (i know, totally retarded but i was). I ordered some food and also enough so that mike could just take it in his lunch the next day because i wasn't going to have time to make him something. The total came to about $20 and when i pulled up to the window the lady said "well today is your lucky day! that truck that was right in front of you just paid for your meal!" I seriously wanted to cry. I was such a jerk (well my thoughts were) and this person had paid for our meal. Anyway it was such a Christlike thing to do.

I just said to the lady "why?" and she said she didn't know. She did give me a name Jason Fife (i think that is the first name) anyway, she said that he said he knew me but i don't? I am sure he was just doing a good deed and i am so grateful for this person because it taught me a lesson. Now i totally want to go and do the same thing for someone else! Lets all try to do so! I challenge you all to do a good deed in the next week.

Oh my gosh! I am tearing up. Wow, I am such a sucker for a good story, especially when I hear that someone was being nice to my little sis. Anyway, Seth knows a girl with the last name Fife. She's on his friends list on facebook. I'll have to ask him about it. Anyway! Great story Schmool. I love you too!

That's a great story! I love it when people do nice things as that, just because! I especially love the Holiday's just because there are some nice people out there... One day, when it's Thanksgiving, I would love to buy someone the entire meal, when I can see that they are only limited to a few items! Thanks for the great reminder!
