Thought I would share...
I was talking with a dear friend of mine, and he asked what I was doing for dinner. I told him, we ate a good lunch, out with my mom, so we weren't going to eat dinner. Besides, we didn't have anything to eat tonight. He got upset because I didn't tell anyone. BUT, my child support check should post within the next day or so, so I can go to the grocery store then. It's not like we are starving - we have the odd can of whatever in the cabinet.
Well, hung up from him, came upstairs to put little one to bed, and he called back. Told me to answer the door for the pizza delivery. I thought he called and ordered a pizza, and he had paid for it. WRONG! It was HIM, and 3 friends he picked up on the way, from my church, armed with a pizza, bottled water, cereal, milk, fresh fruit, spaghetti and sauce, etc.!!!!!!!!! Like a little flurry of activity and then they were off.
TOO SWEET!!!!!!! You all have NO IDEA how much that meant to me and my kids!
For so many years, it has been me and my kids, getting a box of stuff together and taking it to someone. Kind of cool to be on the receiving end - and NOT expecting it.
Thought I would share, not only because I think it is totally awesome, what they did. BUT, to encourage all of us, to do the same. NO matter how "bad off" we are, we all have a little something we can share, especially this time of the year. Even if we can't do that, we can always send a note or a card to someone. That little bit of reaching out and touching someone, really can change a life.
Hope everyone has a great evening, and enjoy one another!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
How touching! You are truly blessed to have caring people like this in your life!
inside this paper was 5 one hundred dollar bill. this is a true story. I havent told anyone of my finacial diffecultys, mainly because Im to proud and I truly have no idea who sent me that money but I do know it was a very humble act. and it deff. makes me want to give back to the next person in need when their down on their luck and Im back on my feet. sorry the post was so long but I havent shared this with anyone and when I saw this post I had to share.

A couple years back, my pregnant friend was having some very hard times and I could tell was too proud to ask for help. I carted myself off to the grocery store and got her a full order and took them to her. She broke down when I showed up and said she was just trying to figure out how she was going to feed her and her 5 year old son dinner with only 1 piece of bread and 1/2 glass of milk left. It made me feel soooo wonderful to be able to help like that. And don't you know, the next day when getting back into my car from a doc appt, there on the ground was a $20 bill. Now thats Kharma for you!
Great story by the way and thank you so much for sharing!
