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

Good morning Christy,
I have a small wood art that is sitting on my kitchen window sill right now but sometimes it moves around our home that says – BE THE REASON SOMEONE SMILES TODAY.
Thank you for your time, I enjoy visiting your Pinterest boards and always leave with a smile and a recipe I want to make.
Also I would like to purchase one of the tractor t-shirts in charcoal (XS), are they still available to purchase and if so where do I go to order one?
Have a Blessed wonderful day!
Jan
Broken Dreams
As children bring their broken toys
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
because He was my friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him,
in peace, to work alone;
I hung around and tried to help,
with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried,
“How can you be so slow?”
“My child,” He said,
“What could I do?
You never did let go.”

My favorite quote: I’d rather sit alone on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. Henry David Thoreau US Transcendentalist author (1817 – 1862).
I often use your recipes and love to look at your blog. 🙂
