Here is another Spark I dont want to write my post on your page because I cont want any kind of comments back to me or hat email, or recognition,,,, but I pay it forward all the time,,,sometimes too much at times, to where it takes from me and my house hold...my son and friends tell me,, Im waaaaaay to nice,,,,and some of my so called friends have taken advantage of my kind heart, with no remorse,,,but heres a story from yesterday.....In my local area, several churches do this donation thing and throw a baby shower for a woman in need and who isnt getting a baby shower from her family and friends,,I seen this listed on one of my local in need pages on Facebook and thought it would be awesome to help out with it in some way,,,so I made contact. A baby shower was being held for yesterday, for young mother who had twin boys, born 4 months early and she wasnt ready for it. I was told she had a baby shower, but no one showed to it, so the B.A.S.I.C baby shower group had one for her...I decided I wanted to help out, join in and get her a gift,,,even though I never met or new anyone there. I went to my local Walmart, purchased several items, diapers, wipes, bath soap set, and an outfit for each baby,,, by the time I checked out and paid, my bill came to almost $60!!!! In the back of my head, I was thinking,, Are you crazy???!! Why do you do this to yourself, when you know that be your light bill payment But as usual,,,my heart told me to do it anyways... So, I made my purchase, went to Dollar Tree for A large gift bag, with last dollar I had in my pocket for a week,,,,never hesitated to put the stuff in it and buried my heads thinking and let my heart over rule again,,,,now, many times, this gets me in trouble, hurt, or feeling used or taken advantage of,,,but I kept plugging away as Im searching for the location of the place this shower was to be at...after being almost an hour late, I finally found it, and walked in by myself,,,this being something I NEVER DO,,,I NEVEF GO PKACES LIKE THIS BY MYSELF,,,SO IT WS OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE!!! Anyways,,, after I walked in, sat down,,,a huge weight felt lifted off my shoulders,,,like I was meant to be there amongst total strangers, totally out if my comfort zone but feeling at peace with it..I was pleasantly excepted by these strangers and the mother of those beautiful twin babies opened my gift first and she thanked me with a huge hug...With that HUG, I knew my heart was right this time and I was glad I done it....after the shower, they needed help transporting her stuff back to her apartment, I volunteered, since I had an SUV and could hall the big items like the new baby beds the church got her. I felt so blessed to help this young mother, because when I walked into her apartment,,,it was blank and empty, only two couches and a table, nothing else....so this big spending,when I dont really have it to spend over filled my heart and left me feeling at peace knowing Once again, Ive made a difference,,, lol my son tells me this has become an addiction for me and I need to slow down a bit,,,but, I feel, If I got it to give, I will give....some of my family and friends make me feel guilty for what I do for others and tell me Im a fool,,, so I never told them about yesterday, but yesterday was the best Ive ever felt, even though I did take from myself,,, I helped out 4 people involved, just wished I would have known she had a 3 year old, because he should have gotten something too....thank you for listening,,,, HUGS
