There are plenty of movies out there where a character finds some form of treasure they never expected. Yet, that kind of stuff can happen in real life too!
One family made a pretty incredible discovery while out doing errands. For them, it came in the form of an envelope.
A mom named Julia Stultz was shopping one day at a Walmart in Charlotte, North Carolina, along with her husband and son. It was when the family hit the children’s clothing section that they received quite the surprise.
Julia’s son spotted a mysterious envelope on the floor, and the mom was curious to see what was inside.
The front of the envelope simply read “With Love, Amen.” But that wasn’t all.
Julia quickly turned the envelope around and found more text. It said:
“If this card has found you, open it – it’s yours. God is continually blessing you.”
She opened the envelope, which revealed a nice card – but it’s what was inside that proved to be a total surprise to Julia and her husband.
To their surprise, they found five $20 bills.
The $100 was also accompanied by some nice words left behind by the generous stranger.
“May this gift bring you a little peace today,” the card said. “One day, please pay it forward. May the blessings of God be on you always!”
The card was signed with “Your friend.”
Julia was astonished to find the cash inside simply as an anonymous act of kindness.
Even though she’s saddened by the fact that she wasn’t able to say thank you to whoever left the card behind, she told FOX 46 that she is very thankful and will definitely pay it forward.
The news about the card quickly spread and the news station interviewed a couple of other shoppers at the specific Walmart store where the card was found.
“I think people should be more kind to each other,” shopper Lamar McLaughlin said. “It’s just, I will say it’s not hard to do, but it’s uncommon nowadays.”
Akili Omari said:
“I’ve always wanted that there was stuff in this world, and I always said, if I had a chance to pay it forward, I would absolutely do it. Everybody is divided right now, so to hear about something like that, it’s uplifting and inspiring.”
In fact, Akili is now inspired to start a pay it forward chain and engage in a random act of kindness himself.
The story also quickly spread on social media and it received tons of positive comments.
“Good to hear nice things in this sad & crazy world. God bless the person who did that. Praying the lady who got it was able to pay it forward. (You) never know when someone needs it,” Roxy Price May commented.
Finding the stranger’s generous gift in Walmart would be like a scene from a movie. However, performing little acts of kindness is something that’s easy to do in real life!
