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,

Just because there is snow on the roof don’t meant there isn’t fire in the furnace!!
I have many sayings pertaining to, “Friends” but below is one of my favorites:
“A Friend is One Who Joyfully Sings With You When You Are On the Mountain Top, and Silently Walks Beside You Through the Valley.”
I am truly blessed with many friends, some I’ve recently met and many I have known since childhood.

I love this. Thanks…..Karen
I wrote the previous post, but forgot a piece of my quote. I will restate it: “Live in such a way that those who know you but don’t know God, will come to know God because they know you.”
This is so beautiful!!! I have tried to live my life like this as I feel I am doing God’s work through these words. Thank you for sharing~~~:)
I make primitive signs, and one of them says: “Live in such a way that those who don’t know God will come to know God because they know you”
I sold this on eBay and when I received feedback, I also received an email from the buyer, and she told me that she had purchased it for her father. He is a pastor and it hangs in his office. He lives in Saskatchewan, Canada.
It is amazing how God’s love can spread across the World.
