PAY IT FORWARD

I met a woman the other day who had a van she no longer needed. She was getting any repairs and maintenance need completed then giving the van away to a woman who needed transportation. I asked her if this woman was a relative or friend and said no, adding, “I have been blessed in my life and am now in a position to be able to do this. You know, pay it forward.”

My heart swelled and I started to cry. How wonderfully beautiful. A touching example of showing compassion to another human being. An example of living in tune with Spirit who guides us. I admired her tremendously.

In my own life I’ve been the recipient of another’s generous giving, and I’ve given whenever I can. At times I’ve found myself with the bills paid and a few extra dollars in my pocket and was thankful to give to someone in need. I’ve also had times when I’ve been down to no money and little food when some kind and compassionate soul stepped in to help me over that nasty bump in my journey. Without those unfortunate times to help me grow and learn and live smarter, I wouldn’t have experienced the joy of Spirit swelling within me those times I was able to give the same gift to someone else. So, my friends, pay it forward, with time, money, food, a hug, whatever you’re able to give. You will receive so much more in return.

I am so very blessed.
