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
Could you please do some simple Air Fryer veggies and a few chicken or pork chops. No beef. I just got one and made potato and carrot wedges today. 80yo so be kind. Lol. Blessings.
You know, I have an air fryer and we just love it but I’ve never made veggies in it! I’ll try to get some and do that soon. We don’t eat pork but we do love us some chicken! Carrot wedges in an air fryer sounds amazing! I won’t tell you how many different types of potatoes we’ve made in ours, lol.
My late Grandma, Mary Reeves, would say; “What’s done in the dark Will come to the light”. And as I got older and more into studying my bible I ran across Luke 12:3 that says the same thing but slightly different wording.
You never look good when you are trying to make someone else look bad!
I wrote this in calligraphy and placed it over my classroom door for the childrten to see everyday. I have been retired from teaching 4th grade 22 years. I don’t remember where I got it but have used it many times.
Don’t worry about tomorrow…..God’s already there.
Hopefully, it isn’t too late to add one more “saying” that meant an awful lot to me during the times I lost my mother, 2 sisters and 2 brothers to cancer.
Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love.
It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot.
Unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes,
the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of
your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
Grandchildren are the sweet harvest of Autumn.
If you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans
