I got tears in my eyes reading about the kindnesses. I know I've experienced so many things like this that have humbled and overwhelmed me with gratitude. It seems for every jerk we meet along this journey, we also get to meet two or three that are loving and giving and caring. May we remember the latter and pray for the former.

God bless ~

Great topic.

I was on the other end yesterday. I met this wonderful couple at the cancer center. She knits hats for many of the patients. I never knew her name but have about 8 of them. Well, I got to meet her and hubby. Her mom died when she was 6 and the impact was profound.

I was feeling sick, wouldn't try any hats with my rash on, so was going when she mentioned her sewing machine burnt out and she did cotton hats. I looked at her, and said come to my house tomorrow and I will give you my very nice sewing machine. She didn't believe me, but called and not only did I give her my sewing machine but tubs of yarn. They just couldn't believe it, tried to pay me but I knew they were out of work, and I don 't need that right now. Finally when I was getting tired, they hit the right gift to give back. A nice slice of pie. Local place makes the best, so mom and I got some pie, they got treated to gifts. win-win

Feeling so great about it, I took the energy today and dug out my fantastic carved drum for a friend who was using a bucket for a drumming circle. Wow will she freak when she get a look at this beautiful hand carved treasure stuffed in a back room for years. Now the music will flow from my soul to her to other. I love letting go of "stuff:. :D

Jeanette,
What a wonderful thing it is to give to someone who you know is a giver and probably never asks for anything! I know it makes me feel so good to give when I've been given so much. Paying it forward for sure!
God bless ~
