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

Moma always told me when I was having the toughest times in my life….”It’s always the darkest before dawn”.
Another favorite of mine is one I heard Mr. T preaching a sermon on….”Never cry over anything that can’t cry over you.” I thought of this one when I once walked into my home being robbed by two men and I had my teenage daughter with me. I lost some worldly posessions by my daughter and I were kept safe from physical harm. God is so good.
I was looking through a cookbook, put together by a women’s club, and there was a quote on one of the pages.
“God does not give us happiness. He supplies the ingredients and leaves us to do the mixing.”
I thought that was so true and so fitting for a cookbook, or for a wonderful cooking blog like yours, dear Christy!
