KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- It was supposed to be a laid-back date night for Michael and Michelle. Michael chose the movie “War Room” from the Redbox, a movie about the power of prayer.

Their daughter Natalie spotted something strange.

"I just saw a little bit of the money peeking out from the disc," Natalie said.

"We heard her say there's money in here, and I was like- what?” said Michelle.

This is what Michelle saw, a note that said "Enjoy some snacks on us! Blessings" with a five dollar bill.

She took a picture and posted it on her Facebook page. It was almost instantly shared by friends, and eventually by Redbox on its Facebook page.

"I think it's overwhelming because it was such a simple gesture that someone did that's turned into such a big- a huge deal," said Michael.

"I wish I'd thought of it- it's the neatest thing," Michelle said.

The little surprise brought a lot of joy to this family, and they decided to pay it forward.

"We stuck it back in there because we already had snacks for that night, so we stuck it back in there and brought it to another Redbox," said Natalie.

It's a lesson in generosity and a reminder that the world isn't such a dark, scary place after all.

"There's still good out there," said Michelle.
