Pay it forward challenge ~

Do you remember me blogging at Easter time last year and telling
how we were in the drive through at a fast food place and
the lady ahead of our vehicle payed for our food
so when we got to the window the person told us we
didn't owe anything?

I finally got the chance to pass that blessing along today
and it was so exciting!

Today I made a trip to my booth and then
I stopped at Wendy's on the way home for a quick bite.
While sitting in the drive through a *still small voice* was
tugging at my conscience saying,

"pay for the person behind you"

I came up with all kinds of excuses in my mind
why maybe I shouldn't.
One being that I had only brought $10 in cash along with me
and it probably wouldn't be enough , but that little
voice kept telling me...

"pay for the person behind you"

So I thought okay I am going to do this by faith that I will have enough money with me. I paid for mine and then
I asked the lady how much the next persons bill was and
she said "$5.49". I had $1.51 left over after paying for hers!

I am so glad that I listened to that *still small voice*.
I will never know why I was to do this at this particular
time and place, but it was such a blessing and I
pray that she received a blessing too!!

I challenge you especially in these hard times to
*pay it forward*
You will get a blessing and you never know
whose life you may change!!

{I did not post this to bring any glory to me whatsoever
but to remind us all that there are hurting people
out there and we need to do what we can to help...
even if it is in small way. }

Simple Makeover ~

I purchased this gorgeous frame at a garage sale up the road and revamped it. It was just the frame...dirt and all with no glass ~
I scrubbed and scrubbed...taking off layers of dirt ~ Then I printed out this blessing in sepia toned ink on ivory cardstock and added a rubber stamped image of a rose spray along with some glass. I am going to put it in my entry way ~
Love how it turned out ~

(sorry the pictures aren't more clear...not great lighting when I took them)

May you be blessed today ~
