Do you deliver?


 In a world filled with chaos and an abundance of horrible things happening comes a happy story that renews faith in humanity. This story begins in Afghanistan with a soldier named Shawn Fulker. Shawn's wife’s birthday was coming around and he wanted to do something special for her, his wife Josephine loves Mellow Mushroom Pizza (a pizza company in their home town Jacksonville, Fla) so Shawn emailed Mellows and asked if someone could deliver a pizza and a 50 dollar gift card to his wife and that he would pay with his credit card. So what did Mellows do? They decided to make Shawn’s request a little more special. Mellows had their cook make a heart shaped pizza (even the pepperonis were heart shaped) but they didn't stop there they also bought Josephine flowers and balloons to make it even more memorable. They delivered Shawn’s surprise on Thursday and Mellows didn't charge him a thing. When Josephine answered, the door she had just finished Skyping with Shawn Josephine said she was excited, surprised, and overwhelmed. Shawn and Josephine have been married 7 years and have a 5 year old son named Ethan; both were touched by the company’s gesture. In a world filled with chaos and everyone looking out for themselves it’s refreshing to hear about a story that’s filled with love, compassion, and acts of kindness. Take notes people we can all learn a thing or to from the great people from Mellows Mushroom Pizza. I have a challenge for everyone, I want you guys to go out and do something to help someone else. Only do it if it comes from your heart not because it's a challenge, if it doesn’t come from the heart it doesn’t mean a thing. Don’t accept money or gifts, hugs and thank-yous are welcomed don't tell anyone after you've done it keep the kind gesture to yourself it will make it all that more rewarding.
