Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Most gas stations in the South have little change dishes by the register. If you’re paying for a transaction and need an extra penny or two, you simply take one from the dish. People then reciprocate this good turn by dropping a few coins in the dish from time to time, thereby creating a community bank of sorts, based on goodwill.
So in that spirit, this is Southern Plate’s “Give A Penny, Get A Penny” page.” I dearly love positive quotes and am always scouring the web for more so I thought this would be a great place to compile all of those. I’ll post mine, you post yours, and we can all “Give A Penny” when we have one and come back to “Get A Penny” when we need one.
I’ll also draw from these quotes to include at the bottom of my posts and emails that I send out to Southern Plate readers and be sure to credit the person who provided it, so include a link to your blog if you have one.
I would consider it a personal favor if you’d take the time to share a quote of motivation or positivity in the comments section below. Quote yourself, your Mama, someone famous, or our best friend “Anonymous”, it doesn’t matter, long as you drop your penny and then come back on one of those days when you feel like you might need one yourself.
Gratefully,
Christy

Attitudes are contagious…Is yours worth catching?
There are lots of things to think about, but nothing to worry about. (Said by Matt Koepky, one of the recipients on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition)
Lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Preach the gospel at all times…If necessary, use words.
Our Pastor says much the same thing…….”Lord, let my everyday life always reflect the things I preach on Sunday.”
“When one door closes, another door opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.” – Alexander Graham Bell

“If there is room in the heart, there is room in the home.”
One of my “other mothers” (one of my mama’s best friends) had a husband and three kids in a small home, but there was love there, and they always made room for me, whether it be for a visit, or because I was sick and stayed home from school ( my mama worked as an elementary school teacher), or for supper, or for two weeks when my mama had to go take care of her folks.
She drove my mama’s week for carpool duty one year so I didn’t have to ride the bus to school. Margaret was always there for me.
Thats the same thing my Mother would say!!! Xoxoxo “Where there is room in your heart, there’s room in your home!!!
