Meal Cost

Daily writing prompt
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?

Around $24.00. Yes. I wouldn’t change a thing. I ordered hazel nut breaded halibut and with it green beans with seasoned red potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted wonderful.

Happiness from Things

Daily writing prompt
List 30 things that make you happy.

Things can only give happiness temporarily. True happiness comes from Jesus. He gives me happiness everyday. Those 30 things? They are just things. When I am writing, I am happy because I enjoy creating stories, and Jesus is with me when I write them.

Kindness

Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.

I had received a gift card for Subway from a a Christmas party at work one year. After using part of it, I sat down at one of the tables to eat. There was an elderly homeless man in the booth in front of me. He asked the lady behind the counter if he could have more mayonnaise. She told him no. Just flat out no. He went back to his booth and finished his sandwich, then he rose to leave. Before he walked out the door with all of his things, I gave him my gift card. There was enough remaining on it for a full foot long meal.

I don’t understand why they couldn’t have given him more mayonnaise. It costs nothing.
