      It does. Through everyone he’s helped. And actually more than that if you think about it. The nurse he paid for is saving lives and spirits that will further help others. He was a good man.
      The old order has passed away:
      welcome them into paradise,
      where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain,
      but fullness of peace and joy
      with your Son and the Holy Spirit
      forever and ever

    I used to be a waitress. Have always worked hard. Didn't notice it until my clients started asking me which was my station, or the tables I was to tend to, which left me with full tables while the other waiters and waitress didn't do anything (and didn't complain). I also have a great memory, so when my customers came in I could tell what they wanted and how depending on the hour of the day. We weren't supposed to get tips cuz we were being paid by the hour. When Christmas time came, I was very much surprised when several of them gave me cards telling me not to open them until I got home. And on my birthday as well, the older ladies found out when my birthday was and did the same. I cried when I opened the beautiful cards they had given me, some contained money, one had a gift card, and another had a $100 bill!! I was so touched. No wonder they didn't want me to open them in front of them, and I tried returning the money... Well, my dear co-workers found out SOMEHOW, they complained, and I was fired. But I'll never forget these amazing people. They were so much fun to be around too!!

      It's okay 😊 guarantee you those ladies who gave out of the kindness of their hearts to make life just a little bit easier never went back there after you left deeming it "worthless" and ready to spread their good deeds amongst somebody else

      Youve got to be kidding ! You earned the affection of your customers through your competence and your kindness and if THEY decide they want to reward you for it, nobody has the right to deny them. IIf they found out what happened to you, I KNOW that theyd force the management to take you back or they'll go somewhere else for their food. Dont take it lying down. Fight back for what is right. You'd make a precedent for other waitpeople in other places. I know how hard you people work , so I always give good tips, knowing there are customers out there who give small or even no tips to hard working men and women. I appreciate you and want you to succeed.

      Better than money is giving people your time. Visit an elderly home and hang out with the older people, you'll see what I mean. I had people in wheelchairs up dancing, folks that been silent for years laughing and telling me stories, and people who refused to eat solid foods......eating. Being around pleasant youth bring out the kid in people.

    One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”
    After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…” I made a difference for that one.”

    Here is a story.
    A child is born on planet earth. Man goes to it and says "You will not receive any knowledge and education unless you give me this piece of paper called 'money'. "
    Child says "As a human being, I'm entitled to learning about this universe and science and medicine. What is this piece of paper you refer to ? Why is the paper needed ? I don't have it." Man replies "Then you shall be denied all source of knowledge and schooling and education. Sorry."
    Another man goes to the child and gives her some pieces of paper. Child is confused, but happy. Man 1 is happy. Man 2 is happy. Everybody appreciate Man 2.
    ---- Far far away, an Alien seeing all this from another planet is confused and asks his partner - "I have the same questions as the child. Why is the paper needed ? We never use any such paper and are still scientifically advanced and loving and affectionate. And why is Man 1 behaving differently from Man 2 ?"
    ( You can complete the story in whichever way you want.... but try to answer the questions before. )
