I've definitely had great things come of being generous. I sold a desk awhile back for $20 (big name brand thing) to a lovely newly married military couple (even took their check since it was written on NFCU) and they didn't want the chair. When a cute graduate student with a tiny civic came to look at it and we wouldn't take her money and DH helped her put it in her car she was elated. W found our puppy on craigslist the next week. I have never shirked at giving part of my stockpiles to local charities and family member or those in need. I never seem to have an issue refilling after either.

Good on you for beign willing todo what you can. Your microwave will find its way to your home as surely as your faith has helped you find your way.
