Pay It Forward

Have you ever done a Pay it Forward?? The feeling of giving something to a random person is one like no other. I have done several "pay it forwards" with Facebook were you do a pay it forward to the first 5 who respond. It was great to show up with a gift or send something to those farther away a little surprise in the mail. Once, while we were staying at a hotel in the city, I lost my cell phone somewhere. I was frantic, as it was a new iPhone 5. Luckily for me, the key cards for the hotel were in the case with my phone and the lady who found it was honest enough to return it to the front desk. I was actually tracking the phone with the 'Find my iPhone" app. (download it now, if you don't have it already!!) and we could see it was at the hotel, so went down to the front desk and they were just trying to call our room. I hugged the lady and asked if I could give her something, she just replied "No", just glad to help out!! Well I was so GRATEFUL that the next day I went to Tim Horton's and bought a cup of tea and paid with a $50, and told the cashier to keep the change and pay for the next orders until the money was gone!! It felt great to do something anonymous.
I truly feel that what you give out will come back to you, maybe even 10 times what you give out. Today, I gave a way 4 bags of clothes to someone who was very grateful to receive them. I have done quite a bit of shopping lately, and my closets over runneth!! So I housecleaned them and offered them for FREE on Facebook and had several replies. It makes you feel good to help out. Even in today's world, there are still people who have financial issues, I was there once and who is to say that I won't be there again. So give people, give (if you can)!! You will thank yourself!!
Pay it forward, and be Grateful!!
