SIMPLY GIVE....DAY 21

SIMPLY GIVE....SOMEONE AN ANONYMOUS GESTURE

"to give without any reward or notice,has a special quality of its own"

when i was a little girl, mt dad lost his job right around Christmas time and really couldn't afford to get us gifts. he and my mom told no one (well, except for God) and one snowy night all of us kids were sitting in the living room with my parents...(well,probably not sitting,more like running around and getting into trouble,haha) when the door bell rang. my mom went to answer the door and saw a person running as fast as they could down the street and looked down and saw a beautifully wrapped box with a big bow on it! she brought it in side with all of us kids sitting around,opened it and started to cry! there was a bunch of money in it, she pulled out 100 dollar bill after another...lets just say there was enough money in there to give us kids a very nice Christmas! to this day, my parents do not know who it was! how awesome is that, that the person who did it didnt have to be recognized or have to let them know "hey, I'm the one that made this possible,now you can thank me"

im not telling you to put a box full of hundred dollar bills on someones porch ,but start small, if you go out to eat after church,pay for someones lunch, if you have a friend that loves starbucks but is having a tough time financially, put a 10 dollar starbucks gift card in her mail box, pay for someones tank of gas, buy a family in need of a thanksgiving meal a turkey and put it on there front porch, put a $5 bill on someone's windshield walking into the store, do something...anything big or small!


HAPPY GIVING!
