A dear friend is having a hard time at the moment. A friend who is the kind to never admit it or ask for help. So I suggested we catch up as some "girl-time" is much needed by the sounds of things. My friend let me know she can't meet up with me this week because she is very short on cash and can not afford it.
Now this friend would never ask for money or allow me to pay for her. She is that type. You know, the independent would never accept or allow it. So, I'm taking her to lunch. And here's how...
I remembered I had two free discount coupons for a free lunch at a new place in town in my purse. I told her this and said I'd love to use them for both of us. She accepted. Because it isn't costing me, she feels okay about it!
Kindness always finds a way. 💜

Please do tell her how glad you are you could help, and remind her of things she helped you with; how would she feel if you hadn't asked. ?
