Here’s a wonderful letter from a friend and a true testimony to the universal power of the law of compensation active in our lives when we let ourselves be motivated by generosity:
“I often shop the Goodwill and Salvation Army Thrift Stores. I would suggest others stop in those stores not only to see what ‘bargains and treasures’ you can find, but also once in awhile you will encounter someone who might be shopping for clothing for their children, as I once did. After watching him holding shirts and pants up to his three children to see if they’d fit, he went to the checkout counter, and I got in line behind him. When he was told the total amount of his purchases, I handed the clerk the money to pay for his children’s clothing. Of course, he didn’t want me to pay his bill, but I insisted. I knew in my soul that I was making a difference in someone else’s life.
Last week while shopping Goodwill, I got behind an obviously very poor mom. She had a baby and two toddlers, and it was just past lunch time. She had a small bag of potato chips for the three children to share. The toddlers were all looking at the candy and potato chips on the display case and begging for more to eat. They handed her several bags of treats, which she put back. I picked up several little bags of candy/treats, gave them to her with $3.00 to pay for them. She thanked me profusely. When I got home, I went to my mailbox and there was a completely unexpected check for a consulting job I had done about 6 months previously which I had forgotten about. The amount of the check…………….. $300.00 I was “paid back”. Unbelievable how the Universe takes care of us, maybe not always with money, but with JOY to our soul”.
