When I went to put my little coin in, I saw the trolley I was getting already had one of the coins in the slot. I took the trolley and completed my shopping. At the register I told the attendant that I had found someone else's coin in a trolley. She said I could just keep it as they get lots left in and if anyone asks for a forgotten one they already have a big collection they can give them one from.
I know it's nothing huge, but it was one of those little blessings that put a smile on your face.
After taking the groceries to the car, I went to return the trolley. When I got there, there was an older gentleman who kindly asked did I have a dollar coin as he didn't have any but needed a trolley. I told him I didn't have a coin, but I had a spare trolley coin that he could keep if he wanted. He was very kind and appreciative of such a small gesture.
As I walked back to the car I couldn't help thinking with a cheesy chuckle:
"The Lord giveth....and The Lord taketh away."
