I want to share the greatest feeling in the world...giving and helping others...
a couple of weeks ago,i was at walgreens with my daughter waiting on line and a lady 2 ahead of me asked the man behind her if he had .50 cents for her, she was short for her item and the man said no (mind you he paid with a $20.00 and got change back)..so the lady left the store..all i had on me was my debt card, no cash or change(i empty my change out the night before)..as i left the store she was standing outside..so i went to my car,pulled around and to her and got some change out of my car to give her, she was so thankful and my daughter turned to me and said "wow mom...that was really nice" and i told her that when you give to others when you have it then one day you will get repaid......giving to the lady and teaching my daughter a lesson, was the best feeling, high in the world!!!
Have you ever gave to help others? Have you ever received help from others? Please share your stories!!

That is a wonderful story. Your daughter will remember that and give onto others just as you did. I am the same way.

That man will burn in He#L!! LOL. Thats so great you helped her out. I would have done the same thing. I like to help people. Once I wa in the grocery store and there was an elderly man on one of those scooter things with the cart on it. He was tring to get milk from the cooler. He was leaning SOOO far that I thought he might fall off! I went over and asked If I could Help. With a sigh of relief he said yes please would you hand me two of those milks? So I got them and put them in his cart. Meanwhile there are 3 yes 3 store employes stocking shelves right there!! They didnt see this poor man struggling?? It only takes a second of your time to help someone! It makes my heart hurt when others dont care!!

that was sweet of you, and i bet that you didnt even think about it, you just did it!! i dont understand people today, are they too busy, selfish to help out anymore? it does hurt when others ignore something so simple like helping others, what if they were in a situation?? thank you for your response and i hope that one day someone will pay it forward back to you! :)
