Don't Be Selfish

Hello Followers, Viewers and Friends,
While watching a craft show yesterday, they were having what is called a BOGO sale. This means "buy one and get one".  You've seen those ads mostly around a big holiday or end of the month sales.  This statement got my creative mind working for a blog title this morning.  If you buy one and get one free then don't be selfish. Think of someone you could give the free item to. As a matter of fact, don't be selfish whether buying or interacting with others.  The world has taught us that if we want to get ahead in life look out for yourself only and step on as many as is required for you to reach  the top of the  ladder.  Today as you go about your busy life – remember that people are around you that need you, to be that helping hand, that smile, that good morning, that person to reach out and make the difference. Go about your everyday activities with others in mind, knowing that as you do good to them, Your Father which is in Heaven who sees secretly will reward you openly.  In keeping with the theme of this post, I made two for them and one for me.  I'm referring to the cards I made.  Two for sketch challenges and one for my "give to others box".

The sketch challenges I will enter are:

Sending you a hug and LOVE,
Lois
