Giving Back To The Community

Things are the way it was meant to be.  Today I was on the M60 bus, heading to work and all of a sudden I spotted $7.00 on the entrance/exit trailway.   I began asking the people  and no one claimed for that money  so I took it.   I wasn't quite sure why that simple $7.00 was meant for me, but I have decided to used the money fair and square by giving back to the communities to help others; eventually that money wasn't a lot but I felt guilty for keeping all of it ,so this was how I used my the $7.00.

1. I spent $2.00 on a king size Strawberry twistler.  The donation of the $2.00 goes to one of the nurse's oldest daughter charity for her elementary senior's trip.  I shared the candy with Leslie's students.  I killed two birds with one stone.

2. I spent another $2.00 on Linda's birthday card and Lin's graduation card.

3.  I donated $1.00 to this bum on the street.

4.  I fed myself to a $3.00  Lamb Xi'an burger.  Okay, I treated myself with the extra dollar. 

This is what I did to give back to the community because I believed this is what the lord has planned for me to do.  Instead of keeping all the money as what a greed person would have done, I didn't do that.
