Life is Like a Song

An experience I wrote about August 10th 2011

I thought it needed to be shared! It's about a year old, but still true :)

Yes. Sometimes life is like an inspiring song, and I am about to tell you why.

Today I was working at Subway. I had just finished making two sandwiches as the customers behind the two I was working with started a conversation with the lady I was about to ring up. She was standing with her little girl, ready to purchase two sandwiches when the man behind her began to thank her for something. She smiled and said "It happened to me last week too, and I thought of you guys!" they smiled and she turned to pay for her sandwiches when the man stepped up to the register and said "We'd like to pay for their sandwiches." and Handed me a 20 dollar bill. Their total was $10.71, I took the twenty, smiling and wondering exactly what had happened, but in no time at all the whole story came out. It turns out the man and wife in line behind the woman I was ringing up had lost a wallet (with lots of important information) at subway the week before, and my customer had found it and returned it to them. Then the woman had lost her own wallet, and realized how panicked the people she had helped must have felt. I was so touched by the fact that the man would pay for their sandwiches that day. It was a great reminder that helping others tends to pay us right back, and we can never do too much for someone else. 10.71 may not sound like a lot of money, but I'm not sure it would be easy for me to pull it out of my wallet for someone. Watching the exchange today though, I wanted to do something nice for someone else. It's a chain of love. Just like the song.

What were the chances of all those people being right there, at the same time? I think maybe it wasn't all just coincidental.

And it was a lot like this song. http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/Clay+Walker/The+Chain+Of+Love--157425964 go check it out. Such a good song.

It was all an inspiring experience. I wanted to share it with you, I hope you enjoyed it too.
Love you all!
