Just to share a quick story, one of my dearest friends from college lost baby Rebekah a couple of weeks after her birth due to a genetic defect.<BR/><BR/>Last year she did something very similar to this in honor and in memory of sweet baby Rebekah. So much good came out of "Rebekah's Rainbow".<BR/><BR/>http://livinthewoodlife.blogspot.com/2007/10/rebekahs-rainbow.html<BR/><BR/>It was so good to see how God worked and God has more plans here too.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580151983878981244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-82163803109593398282008-09-23T21:04:00.000-05:002008-09-23T21:04:00.000-05:00I loved the story of the groceries too. And I too ...I loved the story of the groceries too. And I too believe in doing this as God leads. I recently was shopping for a pair of inexpensive shoes...(target) I overheard a young mother telling one of her 4 children...that she'd have to check the calculator ...to see if they had enough to buy the shoes her daughter wanted.The daughter asked me to pass her another cheaper pair...and I mentioned to the mother, she definitely had her hands full. She said they had left the 3 yr. old at home to make it easier to get school things. Well, I said something ( to the mom) about shoes...and she replied that she hadn't had new ones in a while. All of the children were well behaved...and clean. I walked to another aisle and heard Mom and daughter speaking again... I absolutely felt God tell me to do something. So I asked her to please excuse me, but I believed in paying it forward... and that God had led me to buy her( the mom) a pair of shoes. I handed her the money.... and can honestly say my heart sang all the way home. I share this as I think God uses us in big and small ways. This was small....but since my husband was in between jobs at the time... that little bit of money was a stretch. Her thanks was more than enough for me.Colleen formerly of South Africahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642449499720643720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-92100694100491552132008-09-23T20:58:00.000-05:002008-09-23T20:58:00.000-05:00My girls and I once pigged out at an IHOP.

While we were eating we were talking about my husband & my oldest son who both are in the Army. When I went to pay, the waitress said someone had already pd for it & that the person said to say thank you to my family for their service. I was floored. What a wonderful gesture. <BR/><BR/>Time to pay it forward. :)The Apron Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397385130751028674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-65349848353503233602008-09-23T19:38:00.000-05:002008-09-23T19:38:00.000-05:00I love the story about the groceries...what a bles...I love the story about the groceries...what a blessing!
