I just had to post this. So many times people complain but I wanted to tell of this amazing thing that happened today.
First, over the past 4 months our family has been going through the economic woes like the rest of the country. My husband's main customer is Chrysler to give you some perspective. And we've been cutting corners and making things work. The kids had to give up some activities and I didn't do my summer clothes/shoes shopping trip, we're going to make due with hand me downs etc.
Coupon clipping, smarter shopping choices, etc and I've been trying to make every dollar stretch. You all know what I mean.
I haven't complained, well maybe once I broke down to my mom, but really I 'get' that it's tough these days and we still have my husbands job and his benefits and that makes us luckier than some. I'm trying to count my blessings. I pray for strength and guidance and most importantly a change in the world.
So today, out of the blue, I received a couple hundred $$ Target e-gift card. From a really good friend, who btw doesn't know the nitty gritty, just what she's observed. She had a windfall in her life and thought to SHARE it with me and my family. Just because.
To everyone who is thinking they are at the bottom and there is no hope. Don't stop believing. There are angels everywhere. Yours might be just around the corner. And in the meantime, go out and do something nice for someone else. I know, trust me, that what goes around definately comes around. No good deed goes unnoticed and every other positive hopeful corney thing you can think of. They are all true.
Be blessed, Tracy
