Doing something nice for someone else
I have to share this as it made me feel so good inside.
On the weekend I was at Walmart, as I was walking in, the Girlscouts were selling cookies. Damn I love those cookies , but I know what would happen if I ate them
So on my way out I stopped, I asked the 2 girls what their favorites were, they told me, I proceeded to buy 3 boxes, 1 for my hubby and the other 2 for them.
I handed each girl their favorite box, they looked at me in amazment, and said," We can't take these," I said, Yes you can, you guys are working hard out here! Plus I told them, I can't eat sugar. They smiled the BIGGEST smiles and said, Thank You.
It feels so good inside to do something for someone else. Especially children.

Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." 
The girl scouts down here sold cookies and were also selling "extra boxes" for some other country, where you would pay for another box of cookies, but it was actually going someplace else......I ordered cookies in church before I knew my date. But my gf is holding on to them for a few more weeks until I am there without my dh so I can hide and distribute them.....he will eat all of them in 1 setting.
Great Story, Kelly! My little 13 year old (stick skinny looking for every pound she can get) daughter bought a box of cookies with her own money. Here I was proud of myself for not buying cookies and I walk in the house last weekend and there was that darn Samoas box. I started screaming "who brought that porn in the house". She laughed. Luckily she ate the whole box of cookies.
I had a "do something nice" moment this morning as well. Walking into work I was following a young woman who had two small boys. She was being really nasty to them, cursing, criticizing everything they did, etc. When she saw me she stopped. Then she realized she was going to miss her bus. Blamed the boys for that, too. I told her to grab her younger son and I would help her older son make it to the bus before it left. So here I am with a little four year old, running down the street and across busy Chicago Ave to help her out. (I'm also telling this little boy that he should never run off with strangers, but it was ok now because his mom was behind us.) She thanked me, and as she was getting on the bus she told her son "Its a good thing someone so athletic and fit could run with you because I wouldn't have been able to keep up with you". She was 15 years younger than me. She was probably 50 lbs lighter than me. I ran and wasn't exhausted. And I'm the one more fit? That was the best gift she could have given me without knowing it. Not only did I do something nice to help her out, she complimented me beyond what she ever would have known. Now she just has to work on her parenting skills. 
Way to go, Kelly!
