Unexpected cash put into Salvation Army bucket

The other day my wife and I were shopping at the mall and when I returned to my car, I noticed an envelope on my windshield. I got out of the car to retrieve it and opened it. Inside was a Christmas card and written inside was a note, “Jesus loves you,” and also inside was a $5 bill.

I looked around and saw no one. We continued on to Wal-Mart for a few things and outside was a man ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. I told him what happened and put the $5 into his bucket. One good turn deserves another.
