I used my debit card to get $10.00 cash back and the guy hands me a $20 instead. I saw it was a $20 and didn't say anything, I was thinking "Awesome". I start walking away from the store and then start walking back to the store to correct this mistake. The guy was really greatful for what I did and he shook my hand. I felt so great for doing what was right. The thing that bugs me though, Why did I hesitate to do what I know was right?

its always hard to do the right thing, i think you hesitated because your consciense was thinking what is the right thing to do and whether you should do it.

Because GOD gave us the 'gift of free will'. Everyday we are faced with choices. Innately we know the difference between right from wrong, but there is always the chance that we will not make the right choice. You were probably thinking about what you could do with the extra 10 bucks when the thought occurred to you that this guy behind the counter will either have to repay the 10 bucks or get chewed out by his boss. I always try to put myself in someone else's shoes to help me make the right decisions. YOU DID GREAT!!!!!

There is this part of you called the conscience, this serves as your guide, and do you remember those cartoons with the little devil at one side of you cheering you on to go ahead and make your day, then there is the little angel on the other side of you laying out the consequences if you do go on with your decision.

great job you did !! well i think maybe we sometimes forget the kindness and the things that God who is all around near us has done for us but surely if we had the real strong belief we would never do such mistakes he will help us to find this ability if we only trust him and let him sail our life ship

no one's perfect but good for you for going back to that store you will get a blessing for that you hesitated because everyone has that little demon on the shoulder that would tell us to take the money and run but your conscience prevailed and won good job.

The wrong choice is always the easier choice. But the important thing is, you help back your temptation and did the right thing. God bless you.

its money dear
only a few people like u and me do this.
the only difference between u and me is i would have done instantaneously, without a walk or a thought.
by doing this he need not be grateful to u, having done this u should be grateful to God who helped u to keep ur mind clean.

Baby, I sure am proud of you. I remember giving some guy too much change, and he brought it back to me. His honesty saved me a write-up. I think I would have taken it back too. Maybe....

It's hard to do the right thing. It's hard to eat right. It's hard to exercise. It's hard to abstain from sex. It's hard to be unselfish. Bottom line is it's easier to be bad than to be good.
