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,

I’ve got a new favorite quote from the newest book I’m reading, “The Circle Maker”. It goes like this: “If Jesus has not said come, you had better stay in the boat and not try to walk on the water.”
I wish I’d had that one much earlier in life, it would have saved me from a lot of choking 🙂

My Mother In Love, we called her Granny said this sometimes ” less said soon forgotten” I believe in reference not to gossip.
God’s word provides nourishment for our daily journey.
Scatter joy and dwell in possibilities!
I try to do both every day!!
Something I always say to myself is to keep a family happy & friendship forever is to never let them borrow money and always feed someone if there hungry. And that way you all say full and happy!!!
P.S. And you will still have pocket full of money. LOL!!!!

Boy do I agree with the second one because I can’t seem to keep to keep up with progress!
