FEEL GOOD FRIDAY!


Just popped in to fill up the Protea Place van. Unbeknownst to me, the woman ahead of me had accidentally paid for the wrong pump.


As she walked away, I went to pay for my petrol. The cashier called out to her to let her know. She came back and said “Ok, just call it a blessing for them,” and proceeded to pay for her actual pump.


I said "No, no it’s fine we can fix it". She smiled and said, "I hope it blesses you". Then I told her, "Well actually you’ve just paid the petrol for a charity women’s support service," and pointed to our van... "And this covers us for a month so that’s who you’ve blessed".


We had a hug including the gorgeous young cashier who was also blown away.


Melissa is from NSW and just passing thru town and knew nothing about Protea Place. She reluctantly let me take a pic so we could all celebrate her kindness.


Thank you Melissa, you’ve made my day!
