Drive-Thru Difference - Pay it Forward

For any of you who are avid KTIS listeners, you would know that today is another Drive-Thru difference day. Basically it is a way to get you to bless someone else by paying for the person behind you in the drive thru. It is designed to be annonymous, but it doesn't have to be.

I love listening and hearing the stories that people have about this. It is real encouraging and lifts my spirits. It really makes you want to do something to bless someone. The awesome part about it is that it doesn't just bless the other person...it blesses you too!

If you don't typically go through a drive thru then I would encourage you to be creative and try to come up with some other ways. I read through some of the stories on the KTIS blog (http://ktisblog.skylightradio.org/main/2008/04/10/drive-thru-difference-tell-us-you-stories/) and one idea that was pretty practical for me was to put a coffe gift card to Starbucks or Caribou on someones desk with either the KTIS note or one of your own. You can even do this anonymously which is always fun too.

Have any of you blessed someone else in this way or a similar way? Have you been blessed by someone else? I'd love to hear your stories.

last friday i was able to buy a friend's meal. it stunned her and all of those at the table that no one said anything for about a minute. my intention was not for the entire table to hear but as i said it to the waitress, there was a lull in the conversation.

she was so confused for the rest of the evening but i was blessed for having done the act.
