Our first day in Toronto we rented a car and drove over to Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls was absolutely beautiful…you can take a look at our pictures that I loaded to Facebook or you can look at the pictures below.

Niagara Falls April 2011

So while we were in Toronto we walked to ChinaTown–and had dinner. It was a long walk from the Sheraton–but it would not have been so long had we not walked in the wrong direction for about 15-20 minutes and then had to turn around.

Anyway, some folks may not agree with this–but when we finished eating–I got a to-go box even tho our hotel didn't have a microwave or refrigerator–so I could give the food to a homeless person. Which I did–right or wrong? I don't care–it's what I do.

Anyway, on the way back from ChintaTown I stopped in to Starbucks for a cup of coffee and used $20 USD–the clerk gave me back $14 and change CAN (2 $5 and change) and not thinking I dropped all the change in the tip jar…anyway…

I said "oh well–you get what you give to Jesse and it always, always, always comes back to me!!!"

Before we fly out the next day Jesse and I found a breakfast place in an off the wall place. We ordered, ate, and then went to pay…and the owner says he only takes debit cards and cash. Our meal was a little over $14–so we tried every debit card we had–because well that's all we have but the guys machine kept saying "invalid card".

So the owner of the restaurant tells us that their is an ATM about 1/2 a mile away–so Jesse drove to the ATM to see if he can get funds out from the card–Nope, it wouldn't work–he kept getting invalid card as well…so now we're in a bind–

We have a total of $5 CAN–so I said o.k. I'll go to the ATM to see if I can use my debit cards–but as I got in the rental car to go to the ATM Jesse shouts out to me–to forget it.

There was one other customer in the restaurant and he saw our dilemma and paid for our meal!!! We tried to give the guy the $5 CAN we had–but he wouldn't take it…so we left it as a tip to the owner of the breakfast place.

See, it always, always, always comes back to you!

I've proved this time and time again–how many times have you given your last dollar in your pocket to your sister, friend, or kids because they needed it?

Then something happens? You get it back. I know, sometimes it's not always monetary–but it always comes back.

I've done it in the McDonald's line–randomly paid for the persons meal in the car behind me–I get a big kick out of it–and I'll come home, check my email and while out I made a sale!

Try it sometimes–it doesn't have to be a lot of money, hell it doesn't even have to be money–it could be a donation of clothes or furniture to your favorite charity…

Please tell me your experiences with this–I would love to hear them.

Angel Food Ministries is a great way for you to start giving back.

Here is how this was started…

With a heart to help others and a generous spirit, Joe and Linda Wingo founded Angel Food Ministries in 1994 to provide food for friends and neighbors who were struggling financially. Today, they are still doing the same thing. The Angel Food program now is helping provide food relief to more than 500,000 families each month.

Now you take part in this in a huge way. You probably work with some folks who would be willing to participate even on a monthly basis. Adopt a family or a senior and give them the gift of food each month. It will cost you $120 to feed a family of four for a month. But split 3, 4, or even 10 ways. If you could find 10 co-workers willing to spend $12 a month you can adopt a family and help provide food for them.

Angel Food Ministries December menu.

You can probably think of many more ways to give back this is just one of them.

Visit the website for more details. But you gotta hurry the order deadline for December is December 7.

Adopt a family in your neighborhood and give the gift of food. You can contact your local school system to see if they know of some families who could use this wonderful gift.
