A profound effect...

This morning after my test I decided to run to Burger King for an egg and cheese biscuit. As I was pulling up to Burger King's parking lot so was a van; however, I had the right away but I waved to the woman driving the van to go ahead of me.

When I got the speaker I ordered my egg and cheese biscuit and waited in the short ling of customers waiting to get to the window to pay for their food. The woman in the van is in front of me and I noticed that she received her food and pulled out of the drive thru.

I pulled up to the pick up window to pay and get my food. The Burger King employee hands me my sack and said "It is taken care of" and wouldn't take my money. I must have had a very confused look on my face as the employee than states "The lady in front of you paid for your breakfast as she said you did something nice for her. She also asked me to tell you to have a great day."

Wow. By waving the van in front of me to the drive thru I impacted that woman positively. She noticed the "small" gesture and wanted me to know. In a world where faith in humanity is considered "lost"--I still believe.
