I read your idea and was really inspired. I don’t plan to write about my journey on my blog but I wanted to share a story with you.

We attend a very small church that is awesome but cash strapped. Anyway, our pastor wants to study and provide the book “The Prodigal God” to visitors at our Christmas service because he know a lot of people attend during the holidays and he wants to share this message with them.

He needed $600.00 to purchase the books and has received $540.00 to date. Yesterday, I decided I would help him complete his goal by offering the remaining $60.00 Trust me, we are struggling like everyone so this was not an easy decision.

Today, I opened a letter from a credit union we use to reduce our car insurance premium. We literally have a ten dollars in this account just to take advantage of the insurance discount. To make a long story short, they are giving us and all their customers a $50.00 divedend. Isn’t that an awesome example of the power of giving!!

Lisa, that is so sweet! I love that your daughter noticed. Sometimes it’s the little things that can just make someone’s day!

I totally forgot to RSVP, but I’m in and my family is too! Last night I saw a tired looking mom unloading groceries at her car and I offered to put her cart back for her. She looked really grateful. As we walked into the store, my daughter said “Hey Mom, you just did that giving thing…It wasn’t big, but it made that woman smile!” It’s amazing how the little things can make such a big difference!

I think your “twist” is absolutely perfect! That is what I was hoping my readers would do… take the Challenge and make it their own. God Bless your family- I am so thankful for those who serve our country!

Taxes are the price we pay to live in a democracy.

It’s not a perfect system, since it’s full of humans and our imperfect ways. (The same is true of many non-profits/charitable orgs, btw.) And you should do what want with your money. But the return on our taxes includes freedom to vote and worship as we please, and legal and military defense of those rights. Priceless.
