29-Day Giving Challenge

So I woke up today wondering what in the world do I have to give today.  I am such an habitual planner(which can sometimes work against me).  Not sure if you are supposed to plan these things out, but instead the opportunities came to me.  I needed to go grocery shopping, so I picked my daughter up from school and we drove to the store.  In the parking lot you could hear music being played, it was electric guitar.  Well we went into the store and I forgot my debt card(I was paying bills online this morning).  So we had to leave.  At the stop sign there was a gentleman playing his guitar, which is really an odd thing because this was a busy street and an odd place for someone to be playing.  I gave him all the cash in my purse $9 to be exact.  He looked so shocked and happy.  That was such a rush!  I feel like that man was there for me, sounds so strange but that's how I feel.  So excited to see what the rest of this adventure has in store for me.  As for my daughter, she decided to give her time at school and be put on liter duty.  With plastic glove in tow she picked trash up off the school grounds and "helped the world".

I'll bet the man will remember your kind generosity for a long time. And your daughter deserves a huge pat on the back for her "helping the world" endeavors today!

Sometimes we can plan our gifts but usually they come to us in one form or another. We just have to recognize them. This was meant to be! Love when these giving opportunities come to us.. You are doing wonderfully so far, Holly! Bless your sweetie for her help to our Earth! :o)
