As most know I'm moving west next week, so I'm doing a giant
yard sale over the nest few days.
I had a fully stocked pantry that my boys had already gone
through yet was still full to the brim with canned goods
and such. I had a woman come over today who is a single RN,
out of work with 5 children between the ages of 4 and 12.
I gave her the entire pantry..all of it, and had my boy
carry it to her van for her. She has enough food to feed her
kids for at least a month. She was crying, hugging
me, thanking me. Then after she left I was in
tears...what a wonderful feeling she left me with for the day.
Little acts of kindness make such a difference... I believe
we can change our world by doing such things.

I have a truck from the local Catholic church coming to pick up a lot of items, furniture and clothing from me today, plus a donation. It's great to free yourself from excess and give it to those that are truly needy.

Wishing you a safe and peaceful journey.flowerforyou flowerforyou

You're right ... I did the same thing with the items in my Mom's cabinet and freezer after her death in '04. I took what I needed and then asked the lady across the street from Mom to come see if there were any items she needed. She took everything that was left except the hot sauce ... she had a son on disability that lived with her, and money was pretty tight for them, so I'm glad this could help 'em out for a little while.

:heart: flowerforyou flowers smitten

You gave that woman relief. She probably slept better that nite too. I hope this derned economy picks up, but til then, its nice when folks can help each other.
(You see on the news that local food pantries cant keep up too. What desperation these days)


I remember my G'mother talking about the great depression. My G'parents had a huge farm...They kept only enough for themselves and donated all the rest to needy people from the town. They did this during all the years until things turned around. She said that peeps swapped services and everyone tried to pull together to help everyone through. As she always said..."we made it somehow" flowerforyou

Sweet of you to say...not seeking out compliments, thank you.
Just an example of how easy it is to make someone's day with just a simple act. The feel good factor is sooooo worth it.

Lori, I'm reading a book that is making me think of you with the turn of every page. It's called "A woman's worth". Check it out on line. I think you are amazing.
