Pay It Forward

image from: inspiredkara.blogspot.com/2008/12/pay-it-forward.html

I love the idea of paying it forward. This past three months I have been the beneficiary of kind service. People have fed my family, brought books and movies to ease the monotony of being stuck in bed, called and emailed to keep me from being a recluse, taken care of my children, and cleaned my house. There isn't a way to repay you all, but doing something might help.
Here are the rules:

The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a handmade gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise. There's a small catch though...Post this same thing on your own blog and then come back and leave a comment telling me you're in. Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift!

Well, I love the idea of paying it forward. I try to keep that in mind all the time. I'm visiting twice a week to help those shutins that might need help. I love doing that. I try to do my best anytime I can with what I can. I'll try harder. Loved being able to help you a little bit. Sorry it wasn't more. Love you very much. Hang in there, it will be over soon. Love, Mom

Ok, I'm totally not in, but I love you and think it's great you are trying to do something positive :)

(You know my situation and why I can't commit to this, but it sounds great!)

Hi Julie, I'm totally in. I actually already had this on my blog, and I don't think anyone commented yet, so go do it and we'll swap. :-)
