Quarter Deed #1 (Dish Towel)


Warning: This story is completely made up by the imagination of Dish Towel.

Once upon a time there was a very hungry person doing their laundry at the laundry mat. Luckily this starving soul looks over to see a vending machine glowing in the corner. (horray!) Snacks are always beneficial when waiting for laundry to be done, and at the convenient price of only 75 cents! A dollar is put in the machine, the snack comes out and as this hungry-laundry-do-er reaches down for their 25 cent change...low and behold there is not one quarter, but TWO quarters in the change slot.

Warning: This part of the story is truth.

As I was doing my laundry the other day I knew it was the perfect moment to do a quarter deed. I had many options, and after thinking long and hard, I decided to perform a sneaky quarter deed. I simply walked over and slipped a quarter in the change slot of the vending machine. I love this decision of a quarter deed. I may never know when the deed will take place or to whom. I will not know what their reaction will be or if they even notice. Sometimes these can be the best acts of service. Sometimes it is good to know that I am doing a good deed and it is a great feeling to be a secret agent in the hands of God. Yep, that's right...we can all be a secret agent by simply giving acts of service and doing as the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ would do while on this earth.

As it says in the King James version of the Bible in Matthew 25:40
"...Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."


Spiffily yours,
Dish Towel :)
