Having just watched the story about Emma posted from the experience at vision I wanted to share today. I too am moved to random acts. I think some of us hear that quiet call to service and I always do. Today in line to buy my kids good ole McDonald I notice the woman behind me. But she has a frown as if this the last place she would rather be. Instantly that small tap of “rac” hits. I watch her in my side mirror and see her ordering happy meals as well. Probably for the grandkids. So I pull up and let the cashier know I’d like to pay for the person behind me. I tell her to let her know I hope she has a great day and it’s #forouremma. I pull ahead and as I look back I see the biggest smile and confused look on her face. I think the word “seriously” was said. I waved and the smile never left her face.
