When was the last time you went out of your way to do something nice for someone that you wouldn’t normally think to do? Thursday is National Pay it Forward Day and this year, we are going to celebrate it as a family. In this troubled economy where unemployment hovers around 8% people need good deeds more than ever.

National Pay it Forward day was inspired by a novel written by Catherine Ryan Hyde and was eventually released as the movie, Pay it Forward.” Go to the Pay it Forward website where you can download a pdf of cards to leave with people asking them to pay it forward.

What a wonderful way to plant seeds of hope for someone. When we give, we receive and that is a powerful message to send to our children and those around us.

Please share below what you will do to celebrate National Pay it Forward Day?
