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

My very wise Daddy use to say “Nothing changes if nothing changes”
It always made me think!!!!!! And I’d always change what I was doing,,,, so simple but so True.
I think this was said by Andy Rooney:
“Never say no to a gift from a child.”
I just find it such a heartwarming thought… that you are giving the child a gift by accepting his!
Exercise daily, walk with the LORD!
Pray more worry less.
Grace is when God gives us what we don’t deserve. Mercy is when God doesn’t give us what we deserve!

“You may touch the dust, but please do not write in it.”
Found a sign with this on it at a home decor store called Graples and just had to get it for my mom. She said, of course, it applied more to my house than her’s! Dusting was always my least favorite chore and I now live in an extremely dusty place (desert and surrounded by farm ground- lots of plowing!) so dust is a constant problem in my house. Makes me giggle every time I think about this saying!
