Giving and Giving and Giving and Giving !!!!!

I've heard 2 stories this week about giving that I thought were neat and just had to share.First story is at starbucks.I heard about this on Good Morning America. Apparently at a drive thru Starbucks,someone pulled up and paid for thier drinks.Then,they said that they wanted to pay for the person's drinks behind them.Thier only request was that they "pay it forward". So,the receipient of the free drinks decided to pay for the person's behind them.This went on and on at the Starbucks drive thru for over 100 people before someone broke the chain. Isn't that neat? 2nd story is about a local soldier here in JAckson.he was surprising his parents and returning on furlough.He got to the airport in Texas on the last leg of his trip.First of all,he was greeted there by a group of vietnam vets with goodies,posters,cheers,etc. Apparently,a vietnam vet close to that airport does this whenever he hears a group of soldiers will be coming through.Then,he was sitting down at the back of the waiting area just relaxing before boarding his next flight.All the sudden,Lee Greenwood came up to him and started talking to him.He told Lee Greenwood he'd always been a fan of his.Lee said "well I'm a fan of yours" and thanked him for his service,etc.They took pictures and got autographs,etc. A little while later he got ready to board his plane and was called to the ticket counter.The agent told him that he and his friend had been upgraded to first class seats.When he asked how that had happened,the agent told him that Lee Greenwood and his companion had switched seats with him and his friend so that they could ride first class.

These are 2 simple but classic examples of giving and being a blessing.They were a neat reminder to me and thought you might enjoy them too :)
