Sweet I just made it 98 thumbs up. LOL

I know this has been mentioned but your kids are going to have the seeds of kindness planted early on. They notice everything even if you think lessons are not being learned. WTG!

You are an incredible human being! Selfless and giving and very generous! My hat tips to you (and your family) Whoot! whoot!

Badkins, that's absolutely wonderful for you to have done that for that family, thank you so much!!

I think what I loved the most was that you didn't just "give them a fish", you're teaching the mom "how to fish for herself" with coupons.

While I prefer to give to people personally too, I have had it backfire on me, even though I gave with no expectations, even of thanks. Interestingly, that experience helped me to learn that giving truly is its own reward, as you no doubt felt when you were helping out. It reminds me of how deeply grateful I am, and will continue to be, for the blessings I have in my life. And our SC family certainly numbers among them!

You and your family are stars for having done this - how extremely generous!!!

I got tears in my eyes reading that! Way to go. One day you will be repaid in heaps for such a good thing.

That's very kind of you and your family to share. God bless your family and good karma will come back to you soon.

I have returned to your post and reread it at least 3 or 4 times. Why?? Because I found it very heartwarming. You did a wonderful thing in reaching out to that family. You were actually "His hand extended." Thank-you soooooooooooooooo much for sharing. I too want to take from my "stash" and bless others.
