Kind coffee shop employees comfort grieving customer at drive-thru window

by Chloe Bryan

A Washington woman captured a moment of true kindness Saturday in an unlikely scenario — her morning coffee run.

Barbara Danner was waiting in the drive-thru line at Dutch Bros. when she noticed three employees comforting the woman in front of her.

She later learned that the woman’s husband had passed away the day before, and that the three employees were saying a prayer.

Pierce Dunn, 19, one of the employees, told The Oregonian that he just wanted the woman to feel supported in her time of need.

“She was crying,” he said. “I shed a few tears. We’ve cried since as well. When something that real happens, it hits close to home.”

Another one of the employees, Evan Freeman, explained that he prayed with the woman despite not being religious himself — and it all came down to empathy.

“She could have said she wanted an apple, and I would have gone and planted a tree and grown her an apple. It just happened to be religion that she wanted,” he said.

And Dunn and Freeman aren’t the only ones showing their support. Since Danner posted a photo of the moment to Facebook, it’s garnered over 93,000 shares and over 319,000 reactions.

“Prayers for the young family, and you know where to stop for coffee,” Danner wrote.

Editor’s note:

Business owners should be praying and looking for employees/workers like these.

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” 1 Timothy 2:8

You gotta love stories like this that Chloe Bryan reported.

These several young people sprang to the occasion to bless the precious woman in need who had fallen upon hard times.

God is so good.

SO, we prayed for God to use us today right? …. He’s hearing our prayer. So, in the gym this morning, a lady near me was struggling to get a large plate on each side of the barbell. So, I began to help her and she said “No Ingles” which means she does not speak English. So, I affirmed that she speaks Spanish and I began to speak God’s Word to her in her language. Her face lit up and she thanked me. God is good! Jesus says “The seed is the word of God” and His people are planting […]

NOTHING IN THE EARTH IS HAPPENING THAT IS EVEN REMOTELY IMPORTANT COMPARED TO CHRIST SAVING SOULS! “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130 “As we watch many fall away, many are also being saved! And can be taught sound doctrine right from the start – Before these wolves get ahold of them.” Karen “we are labourers together with God” “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he […]

Kingdom Breaking! 5 Souls Saved! Live Action of Jesus! [podcast]

KINGDOM BREAKING: The work of God through His born again “ambassadors” who are about the “Father’s business”, is the infinitely most important and only eternal work transpiring on the earth. Nothing even remotely compares (Matthew 9:35-38; Luke 2:49; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20). After hearing the extensive preaching of the Word of our God (see podcast above), 5 souls repented before God and received Christ as the LORD of their lives! Also, all the believers present asked our LORD to fill, to baptize them with His Holy Spirit and to use them mightily (Acts 1:8; 2:1-4, 37-39; 8:14-17; 19:1-6, etc.). (keep in […]
