The First To Apologize

You have to do what God wants
If God put it in your heart
to go to the store and buy a whole bunch of canned goods for someone
Do it
You don't know what that person is going through
So don't judge
Someone told me
"The first to apologize is the bravest
The first to forgive is the strongest
The first to forget is the happiest"
We should live by example
You can only have by what you show
So show plenty, okay?
lol
Got to tell you a story
A friend told me her son had told her
that he felt sad when people did not 
participate on Halloween
I don't know but what she said 
touched my heart
And I went out and bought candies
and put them out on front porch for them to help themselves
I bet I made some of those kids never forget that
You never know what someone does or say
that touches your heart
But that is when God is talking to you
But I will make sure that I never forget Halloween again :)
Okay I am done for now
Hope you get blessed
