Concession Stand (Day 19 Round 5)

I was asked to work the concession stand at our high school boys basketball regional tournament. At first, you know, I really didn't want to give up 4 hours, but I love the woman who asked me to help out, so of course, I said "yes". The time went by fast, we were really busy with all of the concession "goodies" and hungry people. In between times, I chatted with the people, asking them if their team was going to win! Everyone was so excited and fun to talk to. What seemed like a chore, was actua… Continue

Little things at work (Day 18 Round 5)

I did little things at work that may or may not have been noticed and it doesn't matter. They were my gives.
I straightened out a rug that was not laying straight and people could trip over it, I cleaned up the table in the break room, I took down an outdated poster from the community bulletin board, and I helped someone with the copy machine.

Yoga/Pilates Class (Day 17 Round 5)

I go to a Yoga/Pilates class on my lunch hour- usually Monday, Wed, and Friday. It has helped me SO much physically, mentally, and spiritually! I love it! It is especially wonderful during the dark drab days of winter : )

The woman who is the instructor has her own business but not her own facility. Right now we are meeting in a church, but the church now needs the space. So, I am making contacts for her to find a new meeting space. It always helps to know the right person to talk to. I… Continue

Buying Books (Day 16 Round 5)

Our Public Library had a book sale of older and donated books. I went on "bag day" - fill a bag of books for $2. I gave the cashier a $5 and told her to keep the change. She was very thrilled with just a $3 give! You never know how your giving will affect people, do you?

The Retreat (Day 13,14, 15 Round 5)

A friend of mine and I have developed a curriculum for a bible retreat for the women of our church. We go to a lovely retreat center, very nice and quiet and a few hours away from our hometown. It is away from the world, it seems like, very peaceful, with a lake to walk around, wonderful spaces to fellowship together and to be alone. We put on the retreat this weekend and I was gone, Day 13, 14 and 15. What I gave was my time, love, listening, and praying for the women on the retreat. I received… Continue

I just read your blog about your daughter's notes.....the best gift definitely....reminded me I have a note or two on the teeniest paper that my 2 girls gave me when they were little that I keep in a special box. Now you can leave notes for her and come up with the trickiest ways to get them to her.

Is "being honest" considered "giving"?

I went to the pharmacy today to pick up my prescriptions. The cost on them was the same but on the receipt I noticed they had only charged me for 1 of them and not both. I pay at the pharmacy with my debit card as they keep it on record. It is ve…
