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
many, Many years ago when I was a young lad an “old” Fella told me that there is only one thing in this world that cannot be given away. He told me that kindness was the ony thing that you could not give away. It was always returned to you ten fold. Maybe not by the person you were kind to but it would come back you. Over the years I have found this to be true. Many times I would do a kindness to someone and when they asked me what they owed me, I would say “the only thing that you owe me is to be kind to someone else who needs a helping hand.” It has worked for me
This is from the Bible. Never return evil for evil. It makes you feel bad in the long run. Heap coals of fire on their heads. Makes em wonder what you are up to. It’s better to try to always take the high road. In the end, you are a better person for it, and so is the other person.
Have a great day everybody.
I have this one framed & hanging!
Dear Lord,
So far, am I doing all right?
I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or self-indulgent. I have not whined, complained, cursed, or eaten chocolate. I have charge nothing on my credit card.
But I will be getting out of bed in a minute, and I think I will really need your help then!!
Hugs to you Christy~~~~~~~~~
I needed to say “charged” nothing on my credit card. whoops!! 🙂
