I am happy the lady took a couple of minutes to say thank you that always is a plus after you do something so sweet like that. You also get points from me for your giveaway to help out the lady that I help. That is a very nice act of kindness and it made my heart smile to know I could win that to pay it forward to someone in need. You are too sweet and an angel.<br />Thanks again for sharing your story.

I noticed that an older woman was following behind me and thought that she might like the close space. Then, I realized that the space was a "pull through" meaning that the space directly in front of it was open. I waved the woman to follow as I pulled through she was able to pull in behind me. She was so appreciative she actually thanked me . I felt good about what I had done and making others happy always makes me day!

That way I know that, even though it is fast food, I am giving them a meal. =)<br /><br />Christmas Blessings<br />barb<br />Barbara Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740517393541058936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-77684868526550904262013-12-06T09:42:19.150-06:002013-12-06T09:42:19.150-06:00Oh Tammy I love your story.

I will see if I can somehow put your story on the blog so others can read this besides me. I love it. You are a special person and thank you for making my day with your beautiful story.<br />Kris<br /><br />From: "Tammy Thompson" <br />To: kmvavra@comcast.net<br />Sent: Friday, December 6, 2013 6:32:12 AM<br />Subject: Act's of kindness <br /><br />Hi Kris , my name is Tammy & I'm from Ohio. I don't know if an e-mail count's as an entry & I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I'd like to share a few small act's of kindness I've done just to pay it forward. <br />Let me start w/ animals , last week by the elementary school, as I drove my son out to the high school I saw the most beautiful long haired black & white cat hit in the middle of the road. Ran my son out to the high school 5 mi. out, came back stopped at the gas station to get a box ( of course they had none) hunted down a town worker to pick her up. She was someone's pet & the children would be walking to school in 45 minutes & I didn't want the children seeing her/him.I also just had to put my white Pomerian to sleep because of cancer, I had the vet come to my home so she wouldn't be afraid. The cost didn't matter, her dignity did.As far as people , as soon as I found out the cashier at our little market had cancer in her 2 lymph nodes& no insurance I went to the local Amish market & bought an insulated bag & filled it w/ turkey , swiss cheese, homemade bun's , cole slaw, fry pie's,& other goodies. Between my mom , a friend & I , I gave her a card w/ $100.00 cash. <br />Might not seem like much but I'm on disability & on limited means. I don't own a computer , but last year I was blessed to be able to get an IPhone, I'm now in the cyber world at age 48.<br />I check every day to see if you've posted , you alway's put a smile ony face!! The angel's are so nostalgic looking, like they were created just for your home.<br />I don't C'mas shop except for my son & a best friend in Georgia. I went on Amy's site & ordered the 37.00 sweatshirt for my friend, she'll love it.<br />Hope you & your's have a magical holiday!!! Hug's, Tammy <br />P.s. I'm the one who has a cart full of groceries go in front of me when you only have a few. A lady at Walmart told me how kind that was the other day, no that's just having good manner's & a kind heart.<br />Junkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-44500485833604260262013-12-06T09:36:02.951-06:002013-12-06T09:36:02.951-06:00Oh Edie you story is so fantastic.

I am just overwhelmed each day to open up my blog and see these beautiful acts of kindness and how paying it forward gives back to all of us so much. I am blown away by your beautiful story and what a blessing it is to have God give back to you with having Carla now as a wonderful friend. Since you are a noreply comment blogger can you send me your email if you win in the drawing. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful story.<br />Kris<br />Junkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-45721762532518076202013-12-06T08:43:50.964-06:002013-12-06T08:43:50.964-06:00What sweet bags Kris! Everything you do is so spec...What sweet bags Kris! Everything you do is so special. There's a saying I heard many years ago that has always stuck with me... "People will not remember what you did, they will remember how you made them feel." It's one of the keys to life that God has for us that many people never even realize is there. Once you "get it" it changes you forever. Exactly what our good Lord wants to happen to us. <br /><br />Our scrapbook leader, Carla, of our scrappin' group suffered a seizure while at the Ohio State Fair and seriously injured her head when she fell on a brick sidewalk. I was friends with Carla but didn't really know her all that well. She was best friends with our previous scrapbook leader, Claudia, who passed away a year ago from colon cancer. It was a tragic loss to all of us, everybody loved Claudia. Then Carla became best friends with a sweet gal in our group, Cathy, and they helped each other though the loss of Claudia. Then Cathy's husband took a job in another city and Cathy had to move and leave Carla. Another loss but caused by distance this time. Well when Carla had the seizure and was hospitalized they started her on meds, stapled her large head wound shut and told her she couldn't drive for 6 months until the meds were the correct level and she had no more seizures. Carla watches her 18mo old granddaughter 5 days a week. Carla's hubby could work from home but had to go into work every Tues & Wed, Carla would be alone with the little one. I was terrified for her and asked her if I could come over those days and "hang out" with her. She said she would really love that. I drove her and little one wherever they wanted to go, shopping, dr appts, whatever. She needed to get out of the house really bad!! Not driving was such a tragedy for her, but she did not get behind the wheel once because of the danger she could be to others. I was so proud of her! So Carla and I had our 2 days every week to do whatever she felt like. I felt I was helping keep Carla safe but the biggest blessing was what she gave to me... her friendship! We have become good friends and have had so much fun, laughs & tears together. Little one runs to me when I walk in the door and jumps into my arms with smiles and jabbering. Carla, who is not a demonstrative person with affection, hugs me! Oh God is so good. When we try to bless others He blesses us more!! I don't like to talk about things I do but this is such a good example of God works to bless us. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that Carla and I are such good friends now. To God be the Glory! <br /><br />Holiday blessings to you and yours!

I love your new little angel, of course I think I'd love any pretty angel that you'd post. Everything always looks so pretty and you have that magical touch that transforms it into it's true beauty! Now, as for entering the giveaway, it's hard to talk about yourself and what you do without sounding like your bragging. But I want to win, so I'll give it a try. Just recently, my youngest daughter and I were out running errands at our local strip mall. I noticed a man walking around everywhere with a huge camping backpack and looked like a mountain man. I said a little prayer for him then. You could tell that he was homeless but not skanky. Anyways, after we finished up our shopping, we stopped in to Pizza Hut to pick up our order. He walked in infront of us straight to the counter and began asking prices. As the lady told him, you could see disappointment on his face that he didn't have enough money. Then he turned to walk away...that's when I told him "do you want a pizza? Order it, I'll pay." He looked at me kind of in disbelief. I repeated myself as I put my hand on his shoulder reassuring him that it was ok and said to order. The lady at the counter gave us an even more puzzled look, lol. I then asked if he wanted a pop...he said no...water. I asked to pay for a water too and the lady said they'd cover that. A little worry hit me when he began to order, we were on limited funds so I wondered had I made a mistake because he could order anything! He ordered a medium pizza and that was all. He then turned to me and said in a low voice and a small stutter, "thank you so much, I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving." I shook his hand and gave him a hug telling him "you too" and to enjoy his dinner. When we got into the car, my daughter said when I stopped him from leaving to ask him if he wanted a pizza, she worried and wondered what I was doing, lol. We then talked about how we need to help people that seem to need it. God put him in my path after I said that little prayer for him and I definitely know how God works, so I done what was put on my heart and we were both blessed!Sweet Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657617823655706538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-52805761987807875822013-12-05T13:39:15.502-06:002013-12-05T13:39:15.502-06:00What a lovely give away!

There are so many tiny cities around NJ where people have nothing. We donate toys for children and gift cards to the food store so families can have a wonderful meal for the Christmas season. It makes us feel so good. I am loving your angles and what you have done with them. The tote bags are beautiful and I love your added touches. You are one wonderful person and I am happy to call you friend!! By the way, I love that hubby of yours. He is just like mine in so many ways.

It started when my girls were very young, and my 7 year old came home and said a girl in her class said there is no Santa because she didn't get any presents. My loving daughter told her the story of Jesus, and came home and said she would like me to buy presents for her friend instead of her this year. We talked about the family at dinner, and decided we were all blessed enough and adopted the family. They had a fantastic Christmas, and of course our kids got presents, too.
