Simple Ways to Pay it Forward...

Came across this list online today for simple ways to "pay it forward" in our daily lives...check them out...

-When getting off of a long airplane flight, leave that magazine you bought at the airport. The next flyer won't be stuck with nothing to read but the boring airlines magazine.

-This idea didn't even used to be considered a good deed, but common courtesy. Sadly though, I am truly shocked when someone stands and holds open a door for me nowadays. Try it sometime. It's not a sexist thing. It doesn't matter if you are man or woman, or the other person's gender either. Simply hold open the door for someone behind you and let them step in first. Bonus points if it's cold, raining, or you're in a really big hurry.

-If you have a great waiter or waitress, go out of your way to let them personally know how much you appreciate them. We humans are quick to complain, but usually accept great service with no recognition. Try asking your waiter for the manager. When he or she brings back his/her boss, tell the manager what an excellent employee they hired. It doesn't hurt to give a generous tip as well.

      2. I definitely agree...simple acts of kindness can "open the door" for bigger opportunities to witness/show God's love to other people.
