If someone standing behind me in the grocery store has small children I love paying for their groceries. I remember the day when we were struggling due to short funds and trying to feed seven of us (5 children). Now that I can spare the extra cash I get a great satisfaction in helping someone else.

What a gracious and loving thing for you to do. I do something like that on a much smaller scale as I purchase for the guy behind me when I go through Starbucks or at lunch when I am going through the drive in. You are doing wonderful work and are a great example to all of us. Thank you for sharing this.

Such a kind, caring thing to do. Maybe some of the rest of us should use you as an example. Thank you for the reminder of how much I am blessed with and others are not.♥

What a wonderful gesture of kindness. In this economy, I bet more than once a parent has sighed with relief and been very thankful for your generosity!

How wonderful! I will remember this the next time I'm in a store, maybe I'll be able to do the same!

its wonderful you can do that, we constantly help our children due to my sil injury, today the rent but finally some good news he recieved a disability check. when I bake I always share with those around us its nice to see the smiles on peoples faces when you hand them a plate of goodies or a loaf of fresh bread.

I think of that when I'm at the pharmacy and I see an older person getting their meds. I know what mine cost and I know a lot of their's cost even more. Can barely afford mine though.
