I was outside the Pizza Hut where my daughter works waiting to pick her up, and one of her co-workers whom I've met before said hello. As my daughter was getting into the car, he proceeded to tell me about one of his deliveries.
Andy, that's the delivery driver's name, under special request was asked to deliver a couple of pizzas to a church. As he walks in the church, he notices they are having service, but is lead to the front where the pastor is preaching. Now mind you, the church has about 100 people attending the service, and there are about another 50 in the lobby viewing the service on a TV.
He carries the pizza's to the pulpit, and the pastor asks how much is the bill, and he states "it's $12.50". The pastor asks him, "how much tip do you usually receive on a $12.50 order?" Andy, replies - I'm usually tipped $2.00. The pastor said when he ordered the pizza, he asked the store manager whom she thought most deserved to be blessed today and she picked Andy.
Well, by now Andy is getting a little nervous being up front and the center and having the attention of all these people - none of whom he knows. The pastor tells him that they have all contributed to his tip tonight and gift him with $483.00. Andy is shocked and in awe of this random act of kindness. He thanks the pastor and the congregation. He tells them not only is he a delivery driver, but is in culinary school and what a blessing this truly is to him.
What a wonderful testimony. It gives me hope and encouragement to know that people care and are paying it forward!
