"Thoughtful" Biscuits and Gravy

A coworker of mine loves biscuits and gravy (like me).  On her birthday, I picked up some biscuits and gravy and left it on her desk when she came in along with a "StealthServant" card.  She knew it was me, but she went on to use the card for another story already posted here!

Free Pizza at Little Caesars...

...for whoever followed me into the Little Caesars on Scenic.  I hope that they enjoyed it.  Little Caesars is a great place to be a stealth servant.  The pizzas are only $5, so when I went to get some Crazy Bread this afternoon I paid for a pizza and left the card for the cashier to hand out to the next customer.  Hopefully they will be blessed by this very small act of kindness.

Used "Stealth Servant" Card!

Yesterday while in line at Walmart buying a few necessities, I noticed the lady behind me only had two items in her cart, both being frozen, easy to fix food.  I discreetly handed the cashier the $5 bill I had in my hand along with a "stealth servant" card.  I asked her to apply the five dollars to the lady's tab and give her the card.  I realize that this is small, but it felt good and she sure looked like she could use something to brighten her day.

Gave a pregnant women a ride

Yesterday, after church, we ate lunch at Yen Ching in Ozark with Amy's parents.  As we left, heading south down the road that passes the entrance to the Tracker plant, we pass a woman walking north right at the Tracker entrance who is obviously pregnant, very far along,  I looked at Amy and said, "We have to give that woman a ride" and we kicked Brady out of his seat in to the back with the other boys.

We turned around the car and pulled up beside her (which I'm sure can seem creepy to someone out walking like that) and Amy tells her we want to give her a ride to wherever she's going.  She was very appreciative but told us thanks but no.  We banter back and forth about it a little bit and she's not going for the idea until we insist that she hop in and we'll run her wherever she's going.   

After she gets in, she says she's going to Papa Murphy's over in front of the Ozark PriceCutter -- her husband works there, and he has the car, and she needs the car to go somewhere.  We were shocked -- she had walked from those townhouses at the end of the Tracker road and was planning on walking all the way up to CC, then along the highway and across the 65 highway overpass to get to Papa Murphy's, and she was telling us "No" when offering her a ride.  Crazy!

But it gets better -- she said that she was hoping she'd go into labor while she was walking, and we were laughing with her, saying that last place she wants to go into labor is while walking alone down that road.  But the reason she wanted to go into labor was because she has a C-section scheduled for TODAY and she wanted to avoid the C-section if possible.  We were just amazed that she's out walking that far the day before a C-section, but more amazed that she didn't want to impose when we offered her a ride.

Anyway, we got her there and she was very appreciative, but we were just blown away by the whole scenario.

Paid for Lunch at Mr. Goodscents

I was able to buy lunch for the gentleman behind me in line at Mr. Goodscents today for lunch. Because we were far enough in front of him, we got to sit done and watch his reaction when he found out his lunch was paid for. It was fun!

Don't Forget Your Wife!

A wise friend of mine posted the first comment to this blog and ended it with "Don't forget your wife!"  That is great advice.  While this site is primarily focused on doing random nice things for others anonymously, we can't just leave it at that.  We should always be looking for chances to do nice things for the people that we care about the most, not randomly or anonymously!

Stories Wanted:
Also, I would love to start compiling stories that anyone has about nice stuff that they have done.  Please e-mail them to stealthservant@gmail.com and I will post them to the site.

Thanks for the support

Since launching this site after work yesterday, I have spoken to several folks about this and your response has been encouraging to me.  I have already done a small thing today; I paid for the person behind me at the McDonald's drive through this morning, turns out she only had coffee so it only cost me $1.27 to brighten her day (and the drive through attendant liked it too).

A couple of points:
1)  I don't want this site to be about me, I want it to be about everyone doing good things for other people.
2)  Eventually I would like to have a couple of lists, one with ideas for helping others and one listing things that have been done as a result of this site.
3)  I am thinking of having some nondescript cards printed that could be handed out or "left a the scene" to let them know that they have been "served" and hopefully inspire them to "pay it forward".

Have a great day!

Welcome - Let's do something nice for somebody else!

Welcome to my first blog.  I am hoping to accomplish a few goals with this thing.

1)  Demonstrate to my friends, family, co-workers, and others the power of doing nice things for people.
2)  Provide useful ideas, tips, and motivation to help others get into doing great things for others for no particular reason.
3)  Demonstrate the Love of Christ to those who will be affected by the things that are done by myself and others as we get better and better and doing these kind of things.
4)  Warning - this is selfish:  Motivate myself to continue to do nice things, big and small for others.  My thought process goes something like this....If my friends and family might be checking this blog, I will be more motivated to do something every day, like having a bunch of accountability partners.

Let's see what can be done together...
