Give A Penny, Get A Penny
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
Walk by faith, not by sight. God
Faith is the substance of things hoped for….. the evidence of things not seen.
Faith makes all things possible in God.

This is from my wonderful friend Jodi that uses this in her emails. First time I read it I couldn’t help but smile. God must have started smiling more when Erma’s soul left this Earth. You remind me so much of that sweet lady. 🙂
Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the ‘Titanic’ who waved off the dessert cart.

Don’t doubt in the darkness, What you believed in the light!
Take the time everyday to let God get your attention to see that each day is full of blessings!

I didn’t see a place (maybe the eyes are fading) to leave my “favorite quote.”
But, my nanny used to say, “…it’s so good it make ‘ya wanna’ stand up and slap ‘ya mama!”
He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who leaves the world better than he found it, weather by a better doughnut or a more beautiful daisy
and who has gained the trust of pure women and the love of young children. This constitutes success.
How VERY true!!!!! But add one more thing to the list …… the love & trust of a dog.
