Holiday challange

I am challenging each and every one of you to take this challenge and then pass it on to a friend.
Forget the other stupid "challenges" out there, do one that means something, that touches someone's heart.

It's the holiday season and there are so many people out there that might be lonely or sad. They are going through the motions of the holidays, just trying to get by.

There might be a family who's mom or dad recently got laid off and could use the help or an elderly neighbor that is alone and sick, let's start this new year by paying it forward to mankind.

Pay for someone's groceries at the store, ask a neighbor who is alone over to your holiday dinner, help out a family that's struggling this season, let's start a challenge that changes the world with one good deed at a time.

Let's try to do a good deed for somone, I want everyone to post what they did and then pay it forward from now until Christmas, let's see how many of you will step up and step out of the "It's all about me, I am too busy box"

This is the Christmas season, be Christ like, show love and kindness to others.

Last year my pay it forward moment was while I was  standing in line at the 3rd post office I went to trying to pick up a package. I was not in a great mood let me tell you.

There was a young boy about 17 or 18 next to me, I overheard him asked the guy at the counter how much it would be to send his package so it would get there before Christmas.

The postman said 20.00, the boy looked crushed and asked if was there any other way, the postman said no and then the boy asked how much to get it there after Christmas, even though he really wanted it to be there for Christmas.

I watched this young man look like he was going to cry, he counted his money again but he didn't have enough. I don't know who the package was for but it meant so much to him to get it there so someone could open it on Christmas day, it made me sad.

I took the 20.00 out and handed it to the postman and said to the boy "Merry Christmas" he looked at me shocked as did the postman and the other people in line.
The boy said "I can't take this"

I said "Yes, pay in forward in another way ..." he tried to give me the little money he had but I refused, he looked like he was going  to cry again, he thank me about 20 time's, I wished him and merry Christmas grabbed my package and left.

When I tell you the feeling of joy to be able to help someone else out and make them happy was overwhelming to me.
This is the true spirit of Christmas....

This year I am opening up my home to anyone who doesn't have a place to go, that they might share a meal, some laughter and the Christmas joy with a family and others who for that day will be the family they don't have.
See it doesn't have to be gift that costs money, it just has to be a gift from your heart.

So today my friends, remember the true meaning of the holidays and I am waiting to hear your stories of paying it forward this season, this is the  season of giving...Let's give....let's do this!!

** I know this is a tough time of year so I will be putting this number out there for all that needs it...I been there and I know how dark it may seem especially during the Christmas season, there is help, it will get better...I am living proof of
"This too shall pass"**
