Mother finds $100 during Walmart shopping trip with a note to 'pay it forward'

It's rare nowadays for people to experience random acts of kindness, so a woman shopping in Walmart was pleasantly surprised when she became the recipient of one.

Julia Stultz was in the clothes section of the retail giant with her son when she saw a card lying on the floor, according to Little Things. The back of the envelope read, "If this card has found you, open it. It's yours." When she opened the envelope, she was touched by the message inside: "With Love, Amen."

But that wasn't all the card contained. When Stultz opened it, she saw $100 in cash. Written next to it was the message, "May this gift buy you a little peace today. One day, please pay it forward. May the blessings of God be on you always." The card was simply signed, "Your friend."

Stultz could not believe the kind gesture she received. The only regret she has is that she won't be able to personally thank the person who left the card, but she said she would always be thankful for it.

Meanwhile, a group of nine teenagers have made headlines doing their own version of random acts of kindness. They aren't leaving cash, but they are reaching out in other charming ways with people from their community.

The teenagers are students at Churston Ferrers Grammar School and Torquay Boys' Grammar School, according to Devon Live. The hope of the boys is that their acts of kindness will inspire others to do the same thing to strangers and make the community a better place to live.

"We recognised that our local community is sometimes lacking in kindness and happiness," said one member of the group, which has dubbed itself the #YourTurn team. "We want everyone we affect with our project to pass on the kindness."
