Man Steals Womans Purse, Gets forgiveness and Free Groceries!


I heard this one K-Love on the way to work on Friday:

A woman was in the supermarket and noticed a man hanging around on the aisle. The man bumped into her on his way off of the aisle. He apologized and moved on. She thought nothing else of it.

What would you do? Tell us! @http://www.lifestories-101.blogspot.com
A few moments later, as she reached into her purse she noticed her wallet was missing. She instinctively knew where it was. The man who'd bumped into her was still in the store a few aisles over. She walked up to him and said " You have something of mine and I would like it back. You have 2 choices: 1) Be honest and give it back and I will forgive you right now AND buy your groceries or 2) I can call the police right now.

Guess what he did? He broke down and started to cry as he returned the wallet. He confessed that he was desperate and broke with hungry kids at home. What did she do? She forgave him AND bought his groceries-as promised.

Most of us would have called the cops off the rip-period. So, why did she handle it the way she did?

Her answer: Everyone deserves a second chance.

YOUR TURN: What would YOU have done?
