 “I wanted to use one of my Smile Cards today, so I went to the bank and withdrew $20. I went out on my lunch break, and walked around looking out for someone to give the money and the Smile Card to. I spotted a couple of people who I thought about giving it to but then I remembered that the Smile Card says to do it anonymously. So I decided to find a way to give away the $20 without the person knowing where it came from. I got in my car and drove to the mall and walked around praying for God to show me what to do. As I walked passed a dollar store I saw five pay phones by it. I took the $20 and neatly wrapped it around the Smile Card. I left if by the first pay phone and prayed that someone who really needed it, or just needed to be encouraged, would find it. If I had more time I would have liked to stand off in the distance and try to see the look on the person’s face when they found the $20. As I drove back to work I had a big smile on my face just thinking about who might have found it and how they must be feeling. This kindness stuff sure is fun!” — Happy7
