The Receiving End

$60.00 is about how much the bill is at the Outback Steakhouse when my family, myself included, goes there for a meal. We went this past friday night to celebrate Father's Day early.

As we were finishing up and waiting for our waitress to return we were contemplating on making a complaint because we had asked several times for some mustard for our 4 year old and we never got the mustard and so our daughter refused to eat.

So as we weighed out the worth value of the complaint our waitress came to our table smiling and still oblivious to our need for mustard. She looked at us and said, "This is so cool. Somebody just paid for your whole meal. Someone thought your family seemed so nice that they paid for your meal!!"

What do you say to that? She went on to say that the person requested that they be long gone before us knowing about our bill being covered.

Man, is it humbling to be on the receiving end and not being able to say thank you is really hard. That's how our God is though. He is always lavishing us with goodness whether we can say thank you or not.

So we didn't complain about the mustard.
