Sent from reader, Deanna:

I recently nominated a family for the Franz Bread “Season of Giving” promotion. I was overcome with emotion when Franz selected the family I had submitted! They were so needing the blessing and encouragement of the check Franz delivered to their door, as well as 2 big bags of Franz products!!!

Little did I realize, because the family I nominated was selected, I was sent 52 (a year’s worth) of Franz product coupons. This for me was a sweet reminder when we choose to do the right thing for someone, the blessing continues on. How awesome!

Remember in 2015 to pay it forward when you can. It always comes back in unexpected ways! I plan now to send a few of these to others I know need a little love.

HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀

      I thought for sure it would be gone but wanted to check just in case. Wasn’t and thank you so much.

      • ee

        🙂 Do good things, Kim.

    • Deanna

      Oooh! How nice! See, the pay it forward begins, NOW!

  23. Suzana

    Also paying it forward… Does anyone want a $10 off your online purchase to Victoria’s Secret? I got a code in the mail but won’t be using it, so if anyone can put it to good use then email me at live_luvv_laugh @ yahoo.com

    • Deanna

      I love this!

    • Renee

      Thanks Suzana! You are so sweet!
      See what your kindness started Deanna! I’m sorry I don’t have any codes to offer, but I will definitely pay it forward. I like the idea of helping out an elderly person. This will be fun!

  24. Amanda M.

    What a beautiful person and such a wonderful thing to do! It pays to be kind 🙂

    • Amanda M.

      Plus after reading through other comments it seems that it couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. Deanna, you’re a true gem! I’m so happy for you and the other family you helped.

  25. Sue L

    Awww! How nice Deanna! Giving always feels good, even just reading about it. Thanks for sharing and for being so thoughtful of others!!

    • Deanna

      I’m glad I could encourage this little family, and you too!

  26. Lisa Kruger (@nonrunnerkruger)

    Great job blessing someone in need Deanna and God obviously wanted to bless you in return for showing his love to them.

    • Deanna

      God has blessed me thru brain surgery 6mo ago, I’m the fortunate one! It’s my hope to encourage others to give back in faith.

  27. Christie

    It truly is more blessed to give than receive. Nice serendipity!

    Thank you Colin for selflessly giving to each of us everyday.

    One time I heard a preacher say when you do not allow someone to do for you…you rob them the joy of giving…it has always stuck with me. There is nothing better than doing something nice anon and sitting back and watching their faces…love it! 🙂

    Thank you Deana for making me smile! 😀

    • Deanna

      Christie, you are SO right! I really learned that lesson when I had major surgery last summer. It was hard to sit back and let others do for me. Their heart was to help me, and I knew it blessed them to be there for me! Collin is so awesome, you are right. She runs this blog with lots of class!

  28. Starla

    Very sweet. Always do unto others as you would want them to do to you <3
