Make Someone Happy

by Kay Heitsch

"When we have the opportunity to make someone happy, we should do it. The world needs more of this." ~ Quotes ~

On Wednesday, I was at Planet Fitness when a girl came in wearing a great-looking patriotic jacket. I admire it right away but didn't say anything. Time passed, and I noticed she was about to leave. I was talking to someone and said, "Hey, there's that girl in that great jacket. I'm going over and tell her how much I like it."

I wasn't sure how some stranger would react to my enthusiasm about her jacket, but it didn't stop me. I quickly walked over and introduced myself and told her how much I loved her coat. She smiled and said her name was Amanda and she worked for this company that made the jacket. She went on to tell me how everything was American-made. She then handed me a business card with her name on it.

Yesterday, I got online looking for ADDIX Gear, the name of the company. I could see they actually made sports clothing for teams. I sent a message and was told they didn't sell retail, but they were thinking of starting.

I wasn't sure I would ever see Amanda again, but lo and behold, there she was in the locker room when I got to Planet Fitness yesterday. I told her how I had gotten online etc.

Amanda reminded me that she had her email address on the card. She told me to email her, and she would have a jacket like hers made just for me. I asked how much it would cost, and she said it is absolutely free to you! WOW!

Our Bible verse today says, Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone, especially those in the family of faith. Galatians 6:10

Amanda had the opportunity and the ability to make someone's day happy. I'm so thankful it was mine!
