Doing Good is a Pleasure

"Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure!" These words ring true for me today! Yesterday a woman on the street outside my work found a wallet and brought it to me asking if It belonged to any of the parents. I opened the wallet and looked inside at the ID.

We saw her on a bike, but by the chance we could do any thing she was already gone. Turns out she was the neighbors sister who was visiting! To think all that time she was just next door! She had called her bank to cancel her card and they told her where we were. She was so thankful! It made me feel good and I'm sure it made me coworker feel good. I also commend the woman who brought it to us! There is still lots of good in the world, sometimes you just have to start the cycle.

And In the end it all worked out :) today the woman who lost her wallet came by my work again and brought us basket full of goodies as a thank you! All I can say is what goes around comes around.
