Just before the Christmas season, I shared with y'all out there some things that I would love to see more of. Just like always, I ask you to share your thoughts or what you have done.
Its a new year folks, instead of thinking of just yourselves, look around you for the ones who need a helping hand.
The Good Lord above has blessed me with a caring heart, a heart that rather see others smile and be happy rather than my own. I love to help out. I really love to see a smile from someone that does not know who its from. I do not do things for thank you, or paybacks...I pay it forward.
When I was a young punk, I did something that should of gotten my butt beat, and beat hard. But the gent who caught me at it, let me off. A few months after, I asked him why he did that. His reply was simple...
"It was done for me once, and now I'm paying it forward"
As I spoke to him, he was telling me stories of things he did when he was young, in fact, what I did is what he got caught doing. what was it ya ask... Stealing gas.
I took two five gallon cans of gas from his truck, and he told me that he watched me the entire time. Gas at the time was about a buck a gallon, and I did that day pay him for it, plus ten more for not kicking my butt. He said thanks, and told me to pay it forward some day as he handed the money back to me. He told me that he thought I must of really needed that gas to be out taking it from his truck.
That was a lesson that I carry with me everyday. And to this day, if I can pay for a meal that could be walked out on, or help pay for something I will.
There is no need that we as humans can not help one another in one way or another.
Make some one out there smile...
Y'all will be glad ya did!
