It's Better When a Child Does It

It's Better When a Child Does It
By Gloria Faye Brown Bates/aka Granny Gee/@GeeGranny on Twitter













I just watched on Dr. Phil Show about a little boy named Miles.  Miles found a twenty dollar bill in the parking lot of Cracker Barrel restaurant.  He was with his family.


Just before they entered the restaurant, a soldier and his wife, baby entered.  Then, Miles and his family entered.  Miles was happy over his find ... and was thinking of ways to spend it ... maybe a video game.

When he saw the soldier, he wrote a note ... put the twenty dollar bill in it.  He gave it to the soldier.  In the note he told the soldier that he was paying it forward.


He also, told the soldier that he reminded him of his Dad, who was in Heaven now.  The note went on alittle more ... but, this is what stood out to me ... made my Heart fill with emotion.


I wanted to share that with you.  Maybe it'll touch your Heart like mine.  Just a simple, little gesture touched that soldier's heart ... I watched his eyes as he spoke about it.


It's wonderful when grown-ups do it ... but, it's better when a child does it.

Maybe you saw this on Dr. Phil this morning.  If so, I know it had to have touched your Heart like it did mine.
