I am grateful for uplifting people. People who inspire me to "try a little harder to be a little better." (Gordon B Hinckley).
Just came across this story on Facebook.
Yesterday I went to the drive thru atm at my bank as I was putting my
card in I noticed where the money comes out of that there was money in
it, I reached down and took it, it was $500.00 I drove around to the
bank and took it in, I told the teller what happened and handed her the
money, she wouldn't take it and she called the manager over he said what
do you expect me to do with it, I told him well maybe you could check
and see who was the one right before me, he took my name
and number, today I received a call from him he said it was a three way
call and he had the owner of the money on the phone with us, her name
was Edith and she is 92 years old she was taking the money out for rent,
her rent was $480.00 and she wanted to give me the twenty dollars that
was left for a reward, it was all the money she had for the rest of the
month, I told her absolutely not and to have a great day. After I got off
the phone I got to thinking about it, twenty dollars to last her the
rest of the month. I called the bank manager and told him to transfer
$200.00 from my acct to hers, a co worker heard what I was doing and said
he would chip in $100.00, about a hour later the bank manager called me
and told me that he told all the tellers what I did and they came up
with another 300.00 to go with the other money for Edith so today was a
good day, Merry Christmas a little early Edith ~ Bobby
Sometimes you just have skim across most of Facebook until you find the stuff that lifts you up.
