Pay it Forward

Thought of the moment:

If each person would do one good deed to another,
we would have a much better world.
Like the movie, "Pay it forward."
It happened in the drive through,
where others were paying for the meal before theirs.
This is a start.
A lady at the Y held the door open for me today,
that was nice.
And a gentleman carried some drinks I bought at Hardees for me today; 

I get Mello Yellow there sometimes.
There are some nice people,
but we need more.
I have two deeds to pay forward,
I hope it rubs off onto others.

 

As I reflect on this more,

I have done many good deeds through my volunteering throughout the years:

from teaching a free Karate class, 

to mentoring and tutoring children, 

through reading to the Kindergarten class, 

through volunteering at the Literacy Connection,

and through washing toys at the Bethany Home.  

But, I will never stop paying it forward to those who have done a good deed to me. 

So if someone does a good deed for you, 

do a good deed for someone else, 

maybe we will have less selfishness, violence, and turmoil in this world, 

and we will get along better.
