An Oklahoma family who bowed their heads in prayer before eating breakfast at a restaurant that is known for having some of the best eggs in the area were served a side of kindness from a stranger.
The family were about to enjoy their food at Jimmy's Egg in Yukon but paused to pray before digging in - and an anonymous stranger who was also at the diner noticed.

Thompson said families praying and anonymous good deeds are common occurrences at Jimmy's.
She said: 'We see a lot of people paying it forward, buying for other people.
'Especially coming holiday time, we see a lot of that, we do.
'Because we have really good customers.
'You feel better as a server to know that there are nice, kind people out there.'
The Jimmy's Egg franchise was started in 1980 by a Vietnamese refugee who came to America seeking asylum and purchased the chain's first 50-seat location from its original owner.
The restaurant is known for its omelettes, cheddar bacon pancakes and the 'Garbage Breakfast'.
