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


What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?
CRISIS
IN THIS TIME OF CRISIS WE NOW LIVE.
THERE IS PLENTY OF HOPE WE CAN STILL GIVE.
HOPE FOR OUR FRIENDS WE LOVE SO DEAR.
HELP A SAD HEART TO COMPLETE THE YEAR.
MAKE THEIR DAY AS BRIGHT AS CAN BE.
WE NEED TO TELL THEM OUR LOVE IS FREE.
A GIFT WE ALL HOLD SOMETIMES TO OUR SELF.
WE NEED TO EXTEND IT TILL NOTHING IS LEFT.
THEN AT NIGHT WHEN WE COMPLETE OUR DAY.
WE WILL BE HAPPY WITH OUR GIFT THAT NEEDS NO PAY.
By P. HAND
God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth, use them in that order.
Be slow to judge, quick to forgive and always be there for the ones you love!
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and leave the rest to God.
Never let success get to your head and never let failure get to your heart.
