29-Day Giving Challenge

I was having a fabulous day. I work in different locations and today I saw all my favorite people. They had not seen me for a while so they were excited to see me just as happy as I was to see them. I was feeling so appreciated and great that I nearly forgot my purpose for the day. Yes, I was nice to everybody I saw and of course helpful but did not get a chance to really give. I even had a spare gift card at dunkin donuts but nobody came in while I was there. That is rare, no line at dunkin donuts. I got in the car and went to my next stop. Still thinking that it was late in the day and still hadn't come up with anything. I wasn't there 2 minutes (at the store) when this lovely elderly lady was struggling with her cane, bags and shopping cart. I bounced on over to her and said "let me get that" but of course she said " I am okay". Well I know the struggles of the elderly and getting out by yourself and managing it all can be challenging. So I took the liberty of escorting her safely out the door. She was so happy for the help!

This is silly but it reminds me of my dog... No matter what he is so happy to see me. Everyone else in the family needs or want something for me. But not my dog -- he is just happy to see me.

Great Give! Maybe your gift will also help her be more open to help from others too!
