Good Deed Cash

I invited the Superior General of the Paulist Fathers, my religious community, to lunch here in Vero Beach, Florida.  We went to a little oceanside cafe.  Someone who had heard him preach that morning was at the restaurant and said it was a good homily.  We went into the restaurant to sit down and eat.  Along comes the owner who says a fellow recognized us as priests at the parish and had given the owner $100 to buy us lunch, tip the waiter and give the rest to us.  I walked out from a nice lunch $40 richer than when I went in.  Sometimes, good deeds, inviting a person to lunch, have unexpected results.
