These stories have made me change my mind on taking all my coupons..latly i have been just taking the coupons i needed for a sale but every time since then i passed i don't know how many people that could have used the coupons i won't use :( so next time im goin to take all my coupons (My well organized folder)
The story i have isn't about coupons but helping someone out. I was able to get a lot of cereal for free recently and told my hubbie i would love to donate it. well he got irritated that i suggested it because we are lowincome family and he said we should think about ourselves first. I was bummed and told him that because we don't go to church often we have to give some otherway. He knows thats true and i think it may have led him to do what he did later that day. He stops by the gas station on the way to work everyday to get cigs or pop. He met a guy outside freezing and trying to find someone who will lend him 5bucks for gas so he can get home. Well my hubbie said no he only has 5bucks to get what he was planning on getting...but while he was in teh store he thought about it and walked out and gave him the 5bucks. He said the guy was very grateful and he watched him go inside and pay for gas and come out to fill up the jug he had (to fill up his car which was probably outof gas in the road somewhere)

My hubbie didn't tell me this until a few days later he came into the room and said you know how you said the bible says if you give you will receive? and i said yea...He pulled out an envelope and said guess where this came from? It was a card from our uncle for our daughters birth (which was more then ten months ago) it had a 50dollar bill inside. Our grandma had it and finally remembered about it thinking it was a Christmas card. So giving 5bucks away gave us 50bucks in return :)
