McPIFP Goal for Week #19

Goal: Give a monetary blessing to either a local organization you want to support or a person/family in need.

Once upon a time..... There was a time in my life where I received an outrageous monetary blessing from a dear family friend. He knew I was in dire need at the moment and he kindly handed over the money that him and his family put back every month, specifically for this type of occasion. Every month, they would give that money to a friend/family member who needed it. I believe they would also give it to their local church designated towards a specific area of ministry when they felt led in that direction. SO... how could I forget something like that?? I wasn't able to pay it forward to another in need around that time, because I was so financially strapped, but I continued to pay it forward in other areas... many that I have used on this blog. His monetary blessing touched my life (and is probably what self-consciously led me to start this project!) and I never forgot how it made me feel. I decided then and there, that when my financial burden wasn't so heavy that I would do the same for another and another and another, etc. =)

I know that most of us can think of at least one person who could use a monetary gift... usually, it's the first person that comes to your mind. So this week, impact someone's life for the moment by taking off some of the financial pressure they might be going through. This can be as big as giving them hundreds of dollars for groceries or summer clothes for their children; or it can be as small as giving them $5.00 to buy their favorite drink at Quik Trip they've had to stop getting to cut costs. Whatever you feel led to give, then give it. Make a difference in someone's life and show them what it looks/feels like to pay it forward. Let's change this world one small McPIFP at a time! =)

Have a great week and I would LOVE to hear about your experiences with this project!
