On my way home from visiting with my parents, and my niece, I was thinking. The song “All Over You” by Live came on, and it captured my attention in a profound and new way. I realized one thing that I would absolutely love to do, and pray that I will have the money to do it.
I want to make an unfortunate and struggling soul happy. I would absolutely LOVE to eat at a restuarant and be able to touch someone’s heart with gratuity. I know that most people that work at a restuarant are very unfortunate people. It’s a hard job, and the pay is typically not worth the amount of work put in. I would love to be able to provide and put a smile on some waiter/waitress’s face (and tears of joy) by giving $5,000 or $10,000 as a tip to someone whose struggles deserve to be noticed, and helped. If I could ever become fortunate enough myself, I would love to do that EVERY year to someone who is deserving of help.
I don’t want the attention that may come with this idea. I don’t even care if I was recognized for my generosity. I just want to help others that are stuck in such a hard position. It just hurts me to see people struggle like they do. The only thing that I would want in return is to know that I am helping that person, and that person is truly grateful. The only way to spread love and kindness is to do it yourself, and I want to start spreading it more and more.
And here I thought I was doing good leaving $30 for a small bill the other night… Good thoughts, though!
