24 hours of giving [54, 55, 56]

It all started Saturday night when a couple friends and I went to this cute little Indian place for dinner. Our waitress seemed to be the only one working at all, and she was running her feet ragged, back and forth trying to keep everyone happy. When I paid for my dinner she asked me if I wanted my change back. The dinner itself only cost $12, so maybe $1.80 would have been a good tip (that's about 15% right?) and the amount of change I would have gotten back would have been $3. So I just told her to keep the change. A little bit extra to help her out. Then, Sunday morning I met my friend for breakfast at the local Tim Horton's and instead of taking my change and keeping it, I dumped it all in the little box they had set up for the Tim Horton Children's Foundation. If you're like me, you'll never have heard of the Tim Horton Children's Foundation before, so here's a little blurb right off of the website for you:


Tim Horton Children's Foundation 

The Tim Horton Children's Foundation was established in 1974 by Ron Joyce, Co-Founder of the Tim Hortons chain, to honour Tim Horton's love for children and his desire to help those less fortunate. The Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization committed to providing a fun-filled camp environment for children from economically disadvantaged homes.

And then finally there was church. I've missed a couple weeks of church for a variety of reasons and other weeks I either forgot money or was too lazy, yep I'll admit it, to drop my offering in the box. But no longer! I'm back to donating to the church that's become home for the last three years.

There you have it friends, my good acts for the weekend. Stay tuned for more, I've got some exciting ones planned for this week.
