pay it forward

You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

- 2 Corinthians 9:11

Recently there has been a recognized “pay it forward” movement.

In 1999 Catherine Ryan Hyde wrote a book that morphed into a movie “Pay It Forward” and subsequently she created a non-profit organization called The Pay It Forward Foundation.

According to the “about us” portion of their website, “The philosophy of Pay It Forward is that through acts of kindness among strangers, we all foster a more caring society.”

My husband and I have participated in “pay it forward” in drive through windows, it is really kind of fun.

The really cool thing about paying it forward though is the chance to show God’s love by doing something nice for someone else.

And who can complain about a more caring society?

Today’s song reference:

Starry Night

Given my life to the only one
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night
That was his design
Given my life to the only son
Who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring
Cause he is everything
He is everything

So today, I am thankful for God’s generous nature, because He paid it forward to me, I can pay it forward to others.

Have a blessed day!
