I went to the post office this morning and when I got in line, I looked across the lobby and spotted a womans wallet just sitting on the counter in plain view with noone around. I turned to the three ladies in line in front of me and asked, "Ladies, is that your wallet over there?" They all said no, so I went and got it, and gave it to the man behind the counter. When I did this, the first lady in line said, "Good for you!". Then another, "That's such a good thing you did, Good for you". Followed by, "That's your good deed for the day today." I started speaking to them and sais, "Well, God has provided me with all my needs, I don't need to take somebody elses." They didn't seem to hear me but just continued to "praise" me and my actions. I point this out for one reason:
It is a sad thing that doing what one is supposed to do, is thought of as going above and beyond the duty of a human being.
