A Stranger's Generosity

We ventured out to the Flying M (a steakhouse here on base) tonight. A big juicy hamburger sounded good to Greg and I, and we thought it was a good way to start a 4 day weekend! The restaurant is pretty small, and it seems like we always make a little more noise than we should. Nevertheless, we had a nice time and we all had hamburgers, except Jamison; he ate squash and bananas! I did notice a couple that sat diagonally from us. They were probably in their 50's (which sounds younger and younger as the years pass by); they looked at us several times, they were watching the kids. The lady especially liked Jamison, she had several smiles for him. As they left, we smiled at each other, and that was it. When our server brought the bill to us, she said, "your bill has been paid." We were a little awestruck, with smiles on our faces, which must have beckoned a little more explanation. She then said there was a couple that was dining there tonight, they were regular customers, and every time they are there, they pick one or two tables and pay for their meals! We did not know them, and they paid for our dinner - how generous! How nice to have been the recipient of this kind couple's generous heart. It made Greg and I want to do something for others; generosity breeds generosity. This actually reminds me of my Daddy; I can remember him buying meals for other's when we were eating out and not wanting to have any recognition for doing it. He is a very generous man; so when you read this Daddy, remeber that I love you and that your always a thought away!
