The Cool Thing About Giving

      Well I am only one week into the love ripples project but already I have experienced some amazing blessings. 

      First of all, I was brainstorming some awesome new lesson plan ideas with a few students at the end of the day when another teacher friend of mine came in with a few art magazines that he wanted to give me to use. I started flipping through them and there on the pages were lesson plans for the exact same topics the students and I were just discussing. They were beautifully written, in amazing detail, with fantastic sample pictures and all I had to do was present them! Coincidence? Hmm...

      Then Sophie's doctor called saying that she found the medicine that Sophie needed at a drastically discounted price. That was such a blessing! Sophie is our dog that has copper build up in her liver and has been very ill. Treatment is expensive but her vets have been great and have helped us so much, especially Dr. Ward here in town. What an awesome guy!

      Then for the first time ever, I had a Birthday weekend in which the weather was beautiful! It was in the seventies all weekend, in January! North Carolina has mild winters but not like this. More importantly, I got to spend time with my hubby who made this Birthday great! 45 doesn't look so bad after all. :) 

      Sure these things might have occurred even if we had not been doing the pay in forward projects but I like to think of them as Karma in action. Oh, I am use to the Karma bus hitting me, just not quite in this manner. This way is MUCH more pleasant. ;)
