Endless Giving

What was the last thing someone asked you to give?

Think about that for a moment.

Now, what was the last thing that someone needed to receive from you?
...something that they didn't actually ask for?

Did you even notice? Were you too busy?
Or did you actually take the time to give what they needed?
Whether you gave or wish you had given, I would love to have you share your story either by email or in the comments below.

I read this amazing blog article a little over a week ago on a site called the Everyday Giving Blog. In it, the author talks about his daughter and her friends, and how they were blessed by an unexpected financial blessing from a complete stranger. They weren't out of money, but this woman went out of her way to pay for their breakfast, tip the waitress and share with them the love that God has for them.
Now those young women have been inspired to give to others.

It's absolutely amazing what simple giving can do for those around you ... and everyone around them!

That blog post reminded me of the movie Pay It Forward, which I watched several years ago. It's a definite tear-jerker, so be sure to have some tissues! This movie was a blessing to watch, because it was an amazing reminder that the innocence of caring and giving can make an incredible impact in some pretty unexpected ways.

Read the blog post. Watch the movie. Be inspired. Give.

Be sure to share with us the ways you have and will be giving! This is to be your community of support for all of your endeavors. Go ahead, be bold!
