DRIVE THRU DIFFERENCE

Today Steph and I were out shopping and running errands. We kept hearing about "Drive Thru Difference Friday" on the radio and thought it would be fun to play along! The idea is to bless the person behind you in the drive-up lane by paying their bill. I've heard about it for a while but never seemed to be in the right place to do it. Today was perfect. We stopped at DQ on our way home. We had to wait a few minutes to insure that someone would actually be behind us. Then she came...a middle-aged woman driving a Lexus. I suppose it doesn't matter what kind of car she was driving, but for some reason, we thought it was kind of funny. As we approached the window, I felt sneaky, like I was going to do something...underhanded?? Steph and I were both kind of giddy. We were wondering who she was and what she was doing. What if she was on assignment from her office to pick up lunch for everyone?? Did I have enough money?? The girl who took my money gave me a strange look when I asked if I could pay for the lady behind me. Of course, it was totally fine with her! I don't think the woman behind us ordered much because I got a lot of change in return. As we slowly drove away, Steph and I tried to catch a glimpse of what happened next. Unfortunately, we couldn't really see much. I'm sure that our friend behind us was confused, but happy to think that someone today was looking out for her. It doesn't really matter who she was or how she reacted. Steph and I had a great time "blessing" her! There is something really good about giving something away without any expectations or strings attached. I need to do it more often. If you haven't ever made a "drive thru difference", do it sometime. It will do your heart good!
