Pay it forward

Pay it forward. Lately on Facebook, I've heard of friends paying it forward. You know, doing something nice to others such as buying a Starbucks drink to the next person in line. This morning I went grocery shopping. I've been wanting to get groceries for a while, but unfortunately we didn't have the money to get food. So this morning my cart was pile up high into the cart full of food and I didn't think about my coupons at home!I just needed food in my house. As I was placing my food on the conveyor belt, the person ahead of me stayed behind and told the cashier lady that he will pay for my groceries! I just wanted to cry, but I kept it in and thank this guy, who happened to be an old friend of my husband's. We haven't seen this friend for a long time and he has a job and a family of his own. Well the bill was a little pricey, well close to $200 and it amazes me someone just offer to pay that bill! Saved us $200 for our other debts that we need to pay off. It makes me to want to pay it forward to others. Of course I'm not going to pay someone else's grocery bills like that worth, at least not at this moment. A little bit after I got home, a friend came over for a play date with our kiddos and she brought Del Taco over for lunch and the best homemade French Macaroons ever! So the point of this story, once you feel like life is knocking you down with your financial situations, cheer up cause God has put others into your life to be there for you. Even friends who you haven't spoken to for a long time will someday pop up into your life.
