Do you remember the time when I
looked at the previous weeks work schedule and you called me for 2 hours to
make sure I was ok…….
You laughed with me ;)
Do you remember the plane ride
that we went on and I could hardly walk?
You were there with a wheel
chair ;)
Do you remember the time in
traffic when I swerved in front of you and cut you off…………..
You smiled at me; you waved at
me and said “WOW, what a great swerve ;)
Do you remember the time I was
sick and laid at rest………..
You were there; you sat with me,
you held my hand ;)
Do you remember me selling the
last of my old rusty tools at the laundry mat???
You were there, you said to keep
my tools and with a smile on your face handed me a $20 ;)
Do you remember when I was young
and my front tooth had been chipped off. My self-confidence was low and my
smile hardly ever showed.
You took me to your office and
said don’t worry I can fix your tooth and It’s free!
Do you remember it was only our
second time out? You saw my phone and how I have worn it out.
You found me a new one in the
blink of an eye and when I asked how much I owe you, you smiled and said. It’s
free, it’s on me! ;)
With all the family home for
visit, it was my surprise as I arrived very late that night to find everyone
asleep and you on the couch. The note on the door read….
We tried to wait up for you
dear, we’re glad you’re here.
I had just finished my first
cancer treatment and my cell battery was completely shot. I had little money and wanted so badly to be
in reach of my young children on my cell.
You were at the mall and
immediately understood my need, No longer offered for price; you freely gave me
your 0own battery from you no longer in use blackberry ;)
Do you remember the time that I
startled you as you were getting into your car at the market?
You so freely gave me your time
and energy. The jump start that will never be forgotten, Thank you for your
radiant Smile ;)
I knew I was taking a risk
driving on these tires, there was very little tread. The day came, the air was
out, the tire was flat, and I was stranded there wondering now what?
You spotted me, you pulled over,
and with a sparkle in your eye you freely gave your own spare tire from under
your car.
I’ll never forget the words you
spoke; you said “All I ask is that you find a way to pay it forward someday”
Without fail we rise each morning
to use so freely our warm waterfall…..
Your waterfall is always heated
to perfection without fail, Gratitude and thankfulness rushes in as I remember
not all have this magical waterfall ;)
It’s a magical place; I don’t
know how they do it. It’s clean, it’s neat, and it’s always full. It’s like the biggest indoor garden I have ever
seen and it get better, they have one on every corner. The magic that takes place to fill the market
will forever be a deep steep ocean of gratitude and thankfulness.
Your hands can be found in every
city and every town, your hands are the magic filling the market.
