Fast food mystery

So Nathaniel and I went to Wendy's last Monday night. It was 9:00 pm. I had just picked up Nathaniel from school. We were both tired and Nathaniel especially was very stressed out with his preparations for his upcoming testing trip in California which he is leaving for this weekend. We both wanted to get a little something from the value menu so we went through the DRIVE THRU and ordered what we wanted at the large TV/ microphone thing then drove up to the window to pay and pick up our order.
Well, when I handed my credit card to the cashier she refused to take it. She then said that the person in front of us had paid for our order. Thinking it was a mistake, I thought that we would either have to pay for theirs or try to catch them and resolve the issue. But then the cashier said that they paid for their order then asked if they could pay for the order of the people behind them, which was us the cashier said yes and they did. How cool is that?
We have no idea who it was but we are thinking it was someone from the ward or someone who noticed we were a little distressed. Either way it was really cool and made us feel so blessed. I was also grateful that we had decided to stick with the value menu!

that is so sweet. what kind people to do something like that. it alwaus those experiences that make you realize someone is really watching over you and does care. it is the small things that make the most impact.
