I arrived late one night on a business trip, so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It struck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I asked what their bill was. He informed me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them. I told him “No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other, ” and then I left.
The next day I entered the restaurant again. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were informed that it had been paid. The waiter just retold them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples seated together, paid their bill and left.
I smiled and began to order my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay, because she felt she should pay my bill due to the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that she didn't have to do that she said with a smile “Love begets Love.”
