Winning A Stuffed Animal For An Elderly Woman

By Sara • January 22, 2016

My 10-year-old daughter witnessed an elderly lady at a pizza place ask a teen boy if she could buy the stuffed animal he had just won out of a machine.

He said, "NO. It's for my girl."

My daughter asked me for a dollar to see if she could win this lady something. Well, she won! When she gave the little stuffed leopard to the lady, she almost cried. Her Bill had a stroke and is in the hospital. She wanted the little stuffed animal to cheer her sister up. The sweet lady tried to give my daughter a dollar as a reward and she said, "No, thank you. I just want a picture with you because you're so beautiful."

Before we left, my kids asked if we could get a to-go pizza to give to one of the homeless people that are always around that area. We found a couple not too far away and talked with them for about 10 minutes, learning their story. I ran out of "blessing bags" a while back and didn't have anything other than the pizza and $20 to give them. But what they gave us was more than gold. We were blessed to be a blessing for them.
