Honest people like you keep eBay going. Mistakes happen.
Thank you! You know we conservatives, do unto others as we’d like them to do to us, LOL ... I won’t forget a passing incident that happened to me years ago when I was selling, and I gave a young black lady too much change, and she came right back and gave it back to me. I thanked her for her honesty, and she said as she chuckled, “I want to go to Heaven”. She was sweet and refreshing.
It was inspiring to me, and to this day, I haven’t forgotten it. It’s the little actions minute-to-minute in life that are important — how we treat others — how we live our lives. I’m sure she has no idea that her honesty left me with a little spark of inspiration that has lasted many years, but she did. So I think of that sometimes, and I think, what if by some small kindness, I can uplift someone else and perchance inspire them.
Our church has an annual gathering where folks come from all over the world and basically take over 3 or 4 hotels in the center of a major US city. The hotels actually lose money off of us compared to the regular clientel, because we don’t drink, and they make lots of money off of liquor, but still, they love the week we are there. Things they almost never see happen, happen — people helping the maid make the bed, someone turning in to the front desk, a wallet full of money they found with no ID in it, just general kindness to the staff, and so on, and so on. Last year, the manager told one of our ministers, “I have one word for you, Expand, the world will be a better place for it.”
Didn’t mean to ramble there, LOL. Top of the morning to you ...
