Pay it forward

Yesterday after church we decided to stop and get some lunch.  Normally we don't do this, but I had a particular craving for Taco Bell... yes, I know, but sometimes you just have them.  So we stopped and when we got to the window to pay/pick up our food the cashier told us that the guy ahead of us paid for our meal.  I have heard of people 'paying it forward' but I have never been on the receiving end of it!  It was a shocking feeling actually.  I am grateful for the guys generosity and I am looking forward to the next opportunity that I can do the same.  But I just thought that it was cool and it is also humbling.  To receive something that we don't deserve or ask for... kinda like God's grace and love :)  Thank you for gentle reminders and free food!
