Paying It Forward: Sometimes It's The Little Bits That Add Up!

Good Morning Bliz, Thanks for pointing out those little things that we often do, and yet they are so important, since they will add up to make a big significance. Your post today reminded me of a Pay if Forward that I had forgotten about, since it was such a small thing.

Absolutely!  I had not thought of that as paying it forward.. nice reminder that it is. 

Very nice and every bit counts.  I love that quote from Tish.

It's important to give back in some way whether publicly or privately.  It simply doesn't matter as long as you give back.  You do a great job of that BLiz.

Liz & Bill-when you take into account that McDonald's serves (on average) 58 million people a day, if each person donated just a penny that would be $580,000 a day! wow, makes small change seem a lot less irrelevant! it all makes a difference

Bliz...a little does go a long way and remember that everyone's little bits can truly add up :)!  This is a great reminder to help out where you can!  Terrific post!

You are so right....those tiny little things add up quickly.  Reminds me of the Boys & Girls Club.  I was asked to chair a committee to collect food and money for the afternoon snack program.  I sent an email out to all my friends and co workers....Within one week, The staff asked us to please not bring any more snacks for a while...They were running out of room to store it all :0)  All those juice boxes and bags of Pretzels and fruit cups added up REAL FAST!  Every little bit helps out BIG!  Thanks for the reminder to make a difference!

Liz & Bill, I find it that if every one just gave a Penny to a cause...let's do the numbers 300+million is a good sum of money. In the 70's the Russian Mob on the east coast was skimming one penny from every gallon of gasoline and the amount was in the Billions.

Hi Bliz....I can very much relate to the post you wrote...every week I want to write about something totally great...and most weeks I'm a disappointment to myself!   I start thinking about this on Wednesday and look for opportunities...I must get better at this...

It's all about the little things in life we are Blessed to have laid at our feet -- those opportunities are gifts from Above.  Some of us need a nudge now and then.  You and Liz always have your eyes wide open.  Blessings to you both.

BLIZ-That is something Tish would say. She is one of my favorites here on Active Rain. It has been a honor to connecting with you here on Active Rain. Love reading your blogs. Great post.

Bliz I have a spare change mug in my house.  When it fills up the change is counted and added to the kitty for the end of the year holiday food buying for our church food bank.  It adds up to about $250 a year plus the pantry items I stock up on starting in the fall.  Every little bit helps. 

It's like that story about the star fish and the kid threw as many back in the ocean as he could.  A stranger said why bother there are so many what difference can it make and the kid reached down picked up a starfish and threw it back in the ocean and said it made a difference to that one.
