Two Rugs For The Price Of One

--by pluto178, posted May 16, 2012

I recently sold a rug and when the lady came to collect it we helped her load it into the car.

She had two small children with her and had just moved house. From what she said I understood it was quite a job getting the place into shape! She was delighted with the rug as it would cover "a multitude of sins."

I felt I would like to have given her the rug but, as I was selling it for my daughter, I could not. But I did have another rug of my own which I was able to let her have free of charge!

She was very appreciative and went off with both rugs as happy as she could be.

That week we had had several problems of our. By giving our rug to this lady it lifted our spirits and probably made us feel even better than she did. I had to stop and wonder just who had done who the biggest favor.

We all feel better in ourselves when we help others. Giving is indeed its own reward! I was floating on air.

Thank you for letting me help you!
