Okay, so I've been feeling a little more scroogey this year than usual. Maybe it has something to do with the unusually warm weather this year. Anyway, I was listening to the Dave Ramsey show and he had a special giving show where people called in to tell their stories of giving and how it changed them. A few years ago there was a movie called "Pay it Forward". The concept is that you do something nice for someone and when they try to repay it, instead of them repaying you, you have them "pay it forward" to three people. The other day on Good Morning America they were also talking about this concept and told a story about a Starbucks where for two hours everyone paid for the car behind them's purchase. So, after remembering the too many to count blessings I have received this year I decided to look for ways to pay it forward. And guess what? The scrooginess went away!
So if you find yourself feeling a little scroogey this last weekend before Christmas, I encourage you to remeber a way in which you were blesssed over the past year and Pay It Forward!!
