Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Most gas stations in the South have little change dishes by the register. If you’re paying for a transaction and need an extra penny or two, you simply take one from the dish. People then reciprocate this good turn by dropping a few coins in the dish from time to time, thereby creating a community bank of sorts, based on goodwill.
So in that spirit, this is Southern Plate’s “Give A Penny, Get A Penny” page.” I dearly love positive quotes and am always scouring the web for more so I thought this would be a great place to compile all of those. I’ll post mine, you post yours, and we can all “Give A Penny” when we have one and come back to “Get A Penny” when we need one.
I’ll also draw from these quotes to include at the bottom of my posts and emails that I send out to Southern Plate readers and be sure to credit the person who provided it, so include a link to your blog if you have one.
I would consider it a personal favor if you’d take the time to share a quote of motivation or positivity in the comments section below. Quote yourself, your Mama, someone famous, or our best friend “Anonymous”, it doesn’t matter, long as you drop your penny and then come back on one of those days when you feel like you might need one yourself.
Gratefully,
Christy
God says he won’t put on us more than we can bear, when are we going to realize most of what we take on isn’t His idea to begin with……
Never frown, even when you are sad,
Because you never know who is
Falling in love with your smile.

If you are a mom or grandparent, don’t try to keep your house in perfect order. That’s about as easy as nailing jello to a tree!
The little handprints on the windows are their way of “touching me” even when they’re not there. 🙂
This is so true. I used to be so fussy about my home and since I have become a greatgrandmother I do not care how my home gets messed up as long as my greatgrandchild is happy and having fun. She means everything to me and life is too short to make my home so important.
