Hubby and I have done that for years.....it really is fun too. We will be out to dinner......and pick someone, a couple of teens, or a couple or whoever....and we take care of the tab.......it is really a fun to do this......or pay for someone in the ck out line.....
We have done it with cars too......found a young man on Yahoo for sale board...can't think of the name off hand.....this young man posted for someone that could help him fix his car......he was a college kid from Michigan and going to the christian school in Nashville....well, hubby can fix almost anything. on a car.........except this kid's car problem....lol.....
You guessed it.......we surprised him with a car....he worked at a day care....and we delivered the car to him at work......of course it was a used car....it had 40,000 miles on it.....but, we wanted to do it......
And all we asked him to do was......"pass it on"
It is the most gratifying thing to do.....
