Thanks Ozz.
I think there is a little in a large majority of members of the MOC from what I have seen.

I was sitting in a restaurant and noticed a gentleman eating that appeared a little "out of place." I know the owner well and asked if the gentleman was homeless and he confirmed my suspicions. I then asked who paid for his meal, and the owner stated that he typically it is free, but some times the gentleman insists he has money and pays.

When we got up to leave I stopped by the table and asked the man where he ate breakfast at and he replied, "Whataburger." When I asked what it cost him, if I remember correctly, "$4.00." I gave him a $5 dollar bill and said breakfast is on me tomorrow. His smile and thank you was rewarding enough, but over the years I have had it paid forward to me a few times and I always try to pay it forward again.

Edited: Oh! Next time I was in the resturant, desert was free.
