Now that it's nearly Valentines Day....

NOW THAT'S IT'S NEARLY VALENTINES DAY.. Have you ever thought of "PAYING IT FORWARD"? even in the smallest of ways.. it's awesome! A little something from someone that isn't expecting anything from anyone.. A total stranger, having a bad day (for no matter the reason) Just a little something to surprise them.. maybe even just a cup of coffee? Or a little help with something they are struggling to do?? Or, how about a nice warm smile, and telling a total stranger that they look nice today, or just "have a terrific day" WHAT CAN IT HURT.. I BET IF YOU JUST LOOK AROUND, THE CHANCES TO DO SOMETHING NICE WILL BE EASY TO COME BY.. The two below are awesome.. I even know a pair of siblings that offered to pay a funeral bill for an uncle that had no idea they would have even offered such a wonderful and helpful thing! Now I admit.. this one is beyond anything we could do.. but the ones above and the zillions like them aren't?? Right???

SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL POSTED THIS NOT TO LONG AGO.. I RESPONDED AND TOLD HER THAT I WOULD TAKE THE CHALLENGE.. BUT NOT AS PART OF HER FIVE.. ONLY BECAUSE I LOVED THE IDEA.. AND NOW (NEAR VALENTINES DAY) SEEMS LIKE THE PERFECT TIME.. I HAVE ALSO HAD A FEW IDEA'S ABOUT NEAR EASTER MAYBE... HERE IS WHAT WAS POSTED: After all the recent tragedies that have 

happened and are happening, this world needs as much kindness as it can get. I'm 

participating in the 'Pay it Forward' initiative: the first five people who comment on 

this status with "I'm in" will receive a surprise from me at some point in the next 

calendar year - anything from a book, a ticket, something homemade, a postcard, 

absolutely any surprise! There will be no warning and it will happen when the mood 

comes over me and I find something that would suit you and make you happy.

These five people must make the same offer on their Facebook status. Once my first 

five have commented "I'm in" I will forward this message to you privately, so that you 

can copy and paste it, and put it on your status, (don't share it) so that we can form a 

web of connection of kindness.Let's do more nice and loving things in 2015, without 

any reason other than to make each other smile and show that we think of each other. 

Here's to a more enjoyable, friendly, and love filled year .... Let me tell you a special secret.. the one that I agreed to that posted this does wonderful things "ALL THE TIME" She's such a sweet and special person! God bless her please and thank You.

AND AS SWEET AS ALL OF THAT IS.. I THINK RANDOM .. LIKE SPUR OF THE MOMENT LIKE THIS LADY DID.. (EVEN THE LITTLE THINGS) ARE AWESOME.. AND SURE TO MAKE SOMEONES DAY... MATTHEW 6:3 in some different versions goes like this..
But when thou doest almes, let not thy left hand know, what thy right doeth:
- King James Version
But when you are giving in charity, let not your left hand perceive what your right hand is doing, - Weymouth Bible
But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know what your right hand does,- World English Bible
`But thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth,
- Youngs Literal Bible

PAYING IT FORWARD!

On a chilly morning in Barre, Vermont, a random act of kindness warmed the hearts of strangers and spurred another -- and another after that. Kathleen Connors stopped at L&M Diner on Saturday after a 12-hour overnight shift at Central Vermont Medical Center, where she works as a surgical nurse. "She got her usual breakfast," L&M manager Tayler Merriam told CNN. "Hot chocolate with extra whipped cream, a plain pancake and table syrup." Connors got up to pay her bill, but instead of paying for just herself, she footed the bill for a nearby pair who appeared to be father and son, whom she didn't know. "I was looking around aimlessly and I had a pocket full of bingo winnings," Connors said. "It's nice to see a family come together on the weekend."After paying $40 for both meals, she got in her truck and went home without a thought. What she didn't know was that her generosity would be repeated -- 46 times -- in the span of 6 hours."It was a shocker," Merriam said, "It started at 7:30 in the morning and lasted until 10 (minutes) after 2, and we close at 3."

The thought just crossed my mind.. (and has many, many times, 

just not in this way) 

HE PAYED IT FORWARD!

HE paid a debt HE did not owe..

Because we had a debt we could not pay

A SPECIAL VALENTINE FROM GOD

Praying for you and yours that God will bless each of you spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, financially and with His awesome love, grace, forgiveness, guidance, mercies, and a special blessing that only HE knows you need. Praying for two of my grandchildren, and everyone else that has the flu, for a speedy and complete recovery and for comfort! Praying for those that are sick, hurting, or grieving, that He will wrap His loving arms around each and touch them in ways only He can and that He knows they need. Praying for our country and our leaders.. seems like they need it now, to help our country and not drag it down even further. Please Lord, lead them back to You. Praying for our soldiers safety, and their inner peace and that of their families. And as always, GIVING HIM OUR LOVE, THANKS, HONOR, PRAISE AND GLORY IN JESUS HOLE NAME, AMEN.
